The Origins of Ashkenaz
The book of Genesis connects the Scythians, or descendants of Ashkenaz, with the Cimmerians, or descendants of Gomer called Gamir or Uishdish. Cimmerians also came to be known as Gimirri in Georgian. It is believed that the most reliable information about the Cimmerians recorded in the Assyrian texts of the late 8th century BC, where they are referred to as "Ghimire."
