   All of the previous post ended roughly between 730-720BC. From here we move on a people we call the Cimmerians (k sound, Kimmerian), whom the Greeks called the Kimmeroi. From the image below, off the wiki for Cimmerians, we see that the name derives from Gimer, Gimira, Gimirri, etc.
   
   >This name Gamir may well have been derived from Ghumri by the reversal of the final syllable - ri to -ir, a type of spelling error that sometimes occurs in other cuneiform documents (e.g. king Rusas of Urartu is sometimes spelled Ursa).
   
   If we accept the above explanation, then these "Cimmerians" were called the Ghumri.
   
   The next two images are from wikipedia as well, so lets ignore their suggestive arrows. In the first image, I circled a lake that was the first place these Cimmerians were know to have existed.
   
   Again from wiki
   >The first recorded mentions of the Cimmerians date from spring or early summer[94] of 714 BC[98][88][99][92][16][100][101][102] and are from the intelligence reports of the then superpower of West Asia, the Neo-Assyrian Empire, sent by the crown prince Sennacherib to his father the Neo-Assyrian king Sargon II, recording that the Urartian king Rusa I had launched a counter-attack against the Cimmerians:[103][2][104][68][95] Rusa I had gathered almost all of the Urartian armed forces to campaign against the Cimmerians, with Rusa I himself as well as his commander in chief and thirteen governors personally participating in this campaign.[105] Rusa I's counter-attack was heavily defeated, and the governor of the Urartian province of Uasi was killed while the commander in chief and two governors were captured by the Cimmerian forces, attesting of the significant military power of the Cimmerians.[106][107][93][103][104][105][86][108][95]
   
   This above conflict took place at the lake in the second image i circled. These Cimmerians, or Ghumri, were on the edge of Assyria, over by Media. The second deportation from Assyria ended around 720BC, and this was 6 years later. It is worth noting the name bit khumri is no longer seen in history (to my knowledge).
   
   It is much more likely that the arrows on those maps should be reversed. The Cimmerians started north of Assyria and migrated away, around the black sea, and into Asia Minor.
