Strudeler’s Civilizations: Circassia
Play as the conqueror of the Kuba and Abkhazia, Inal the Great; in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.
The Circassians descend from ancient peoples north of the Caucasus. The earliest of the Circassians were called Maikop, they lived to see war between the Hittites and Egyptians. Around 500 BC the Circassians were known as Sindica and they shared the Black Sea with Greeks. By 300 AD the Eastern Roman Empire and Armenians recognized the Circassians as Kassogs. Throughout the middle ages, many attempts were made to convert the tribal but eventually Circassians became a preferred type of slave by Arabs and Turks as mamluk soldiers, eventually even forming a Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt. Aside from male slave soldiers, Circassians were preferred brides as well. Inal the Great united all the Circassians at a time when the spoke the Adyghe language, his actions led to him becoming a hero and progenitor of the people and Abkhazians, and also he established the Circassian split that evolved into the Kabardians (named after the general Kabard). The Kabardians converted to Sunni Islam after thousands of years of ethnic religion, and eventually their association with Turks led to Russian wrath striking their civilization down. Circassians are largely scattered, many remain in Russia or are in diaspora in the Middle East.
