Abstract:	This article is devoted to the periodic migration of Asian nomads (Saka - Scythians, Hsiung-nu - Huns, Turks and Mongols), which can be traced from the beginning of the first millennium BC up to the 13th century AD according to archaeological and written sources. This correlates with periods of increasing humidity in the steppes during ancient times. While it is difficult to define the reasons from these migrations, it is possible, that climatic changes may have promoted them.
