According to the Narrated History, as early as 4500 B.C . In Central Asia, Communities had developed permanent settlement and began to engage in agriculture as well as animal husbandry.Around this time, some of these communities began the domestication of horses. Initially, horses were raised solely for their meat as a source of food.by 4000 B.C. They were used for transportation and wheeled wagons made their appearance during this time and were attached to horses. After transportation the horses began to be bred for strength, and by year 3000 B.C. They were strong enough to pull chariots. By 2000 B.C. War chariots had spoked wheels. Thus, having become more maneuverable and dominated in battlefield. Roughly around 2000 B.C. The growing use of horses Combined with the failure of the ever precarious. Irrigation system that were responsible for extensive agriculture in the region, gave rise and dominance to pastoral nomadism by 1000 B.C. a way of life that would dominate the region for the next several Centuries.
UNESCO, researches describe that in the northern foothills of Hindu Kush and plains of Bactria, the Caves and rock shelters like that of kara kamar, Ghar i kamarband , Hotu caves, Ghar i mar and Ghar i Asp at Akkpruk indicates that the inhabitants of this region started a production based economy during the Stone Age. The researchers say that they have been one of the centres where plants were first grown and animals were first domesticated, which subsequently spread through central Afghanistan to Anatolia and beyond. There is nothing known about these people, however, the historical evidences prove that region was purely resided by the Central Asia Turks, probably the early Hazara Jat Tribes.
The nomadic tribes of Central Asia wandered throughout the region.some of them migrated from their ancestral land to southern Russia and Ukrain in the 8th and 7th century B.C. The classical writers mostly know them by the name of Saka Scyths . They lived in the steppes to the south of Siberia along the sides of Caspian and Ural sea , and to the west of China. For the first time they were known as Saka around 1800 century B.C. They were consist of a number of tribes mostly similar in language, habits and mode of life. They allied more Or less closely to the other nomadic tribes of Central and Northern Asia.of these tribes the principle were Massagatae/ Great Jat , who Occupied the Country on both sides of the lower Course of the Oxus. The Dai or Dahi/Dahae/Dahiya, Dai were living near the Caspian Sea, above Hyrcania and extended to Herat. The Massagatae or Great Jat and Dai or Dahi probably have joined the existing Turk Hazara Jat Tribes in present Afghanistan Or Occupied Khorasan during pre Christian Era.
Rawlinson remarks that the Tochari Or Tokhari, settled in the mountains between the upper jaxartes and upper Oxus, gave name to the tract known as Tocharistan or Tokharistan. The Asi or Asiani were closely connected with the Tochari, and the Sacarauli ( Saracuese).Some of these tribes contained within them further sub divisions.for example, Dahi/Dahae or Dai was Composed of parni or Aparni, Pissuri, Xanthi ( Great Hazara Jat tribe Dai Zinyath), and Massagatae or Great Jat was Comprised of Chorasmi, Atasi and other.
