Notes
Anciently
Originating south coast of the Black Sea, to the north of the Hittites, the Bronze Age Kaskans (or Gasga) were in existence as a recognisable people by the eighteenth century BC, although they never formed a unified state. Instead, they may have moved into territory which had been abandoned by the former inhabitants of Zalpa. From the fifteenth century BC onwards, they continually threatened their immediate neighbours to the south, the Hittites, attacking and sometimes sacking the Hittite capital at Hattusa. In return the Hittites portrayed them as aggressive and wild tribesmen and continually campaigned against them.
The Kaskans were generally traders and herdsmen while they weren't fighting. Their neighbours to the west were the Pala, whom they may have displaced. The Pala were absorbed by the Phrygians in the late thirteenth century BC. The Georgian kingdom of Colchis lay to the east.
Expansionist State
The reputation of the Kaskans has reached as far south as Egypt. In the Amarna letters, the pharaoh requests that the king of Arzawa sends some of the Kaskan people of whom the pharaoh has heard. For periods around this time, relations with the Hittites are sometimes friendly, although the frontier commanders are constantly engaged in hostilities.
Exodus
The Hittite king, Mursili II, attacks the Kaskans for their rebellion. The Kaskans unite under Pihhuniya and advance as far as Zazzissa, but Mursili defeats them and captures Ishupitta and then Pihhuniya behind it. Pazzannas and Nunnutas flee to Arzawa where the king refuses to hand them over. They resurface in the Kaskan lands to lead a fresh rebellion, so Mursili chases them out of Palhuissa into Kammama where the locals put the two fugitives to death.
