Please remember that even minor movements within civilizations such as India and China are faithfully recorded while comparatively major ones in the asian backwaters will hardly be remembered by anyone, if at all noticed. The ones that we do know about such as those of the Huns, Mongols, and Sakas are only known through their peripheral impacts upon the two great Asian sister civilizations of India and China. Even so, these so-called horde invasions in the east always come from the east itself and are most characteristic of Mongolians and Altaics and hardly of such ancient white trash as the ruskis, etc. Even the Hyksos horde, which pinched Egypt, was a semetic one- where they came from and how they originated among the semetics is conveniently glossed over as that would dispel the europeanist delusion of aboriginal albino hordes invading the east. The Hittites are definitively known to have entered from the East and probably belonged to the same wave as the authentically Indic Mittani and Kassites. I see the slow, measured movements of the Kurds, Iranians, and Gypsies as models for successive Indic colonizations of Northern Asia. Greeks are well known as a minor sub-branch of our Parsee cousins.
Here Oppenheimer turns the conventional wisdom about Central Asia as a melting pot upon its head. Of course, he goes beyond the typical eurocentric garbage to rely upon dead solid genetic evidence:

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A third of today's Central Asian genetic stocks are west Eurasian 'Nasreen' maternal lines. Half of these consist of HV stock. The usual explanation for this 'Europe in Asia' presence is a recent eastward emigration along the Silk Road. the problem with this argument is that HV's common European daughter V, who might be expected to have joined such a movement, is absent from Central Asia. Furthermore, most of the other West Asian Eurasian Nasreen lines in Central Asia look more like they have come directly from India than from Europe. In other words, HV could have originally come from South Asia, round the east of the Caspian Sea, and then gone the other way, westward into Europe. There is Y-chromosomal support for this view of an alternative east-west route for South Asian genetic clans entering Europe via a Central Asian detour.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Oppenheimer then goes on to make the same case for the major Y components in central asians- TAT and M17.
