Years: 705BCE - 694BCE
The Cimmerians (Gimmari in Assyrian records; Gomer in the Bible) shatter the thriving Phrygian kingdom in 696 and 695, destroying its capital city of Gordion and (according to Herodotus) causing its king, Midas, to commit suicide rather than face capture.
From here, the Cimmerians harry Lydia until being finally driven into Cappadocia by the Scythians.
