By the second millennium BC, the ancient Ziaraa peoples began |
By the second millennium BC, the ancient Ziaraa peoples began to spread out of Pay Takht and began founding new cities along the Khulesh river. Cities founded by this sustained wave of expansion include Ihar, Rheyn, Yalbi, and others. The reason for the expansion is not currently known although it is suspected to be the result of increased agricultural efficiency and overpopulation of the other cities. |

From the late 10th to the late seventh century BC, the Ziaraa peoples conquered the other civilizations of Ziaraat. Under king Atossa, the Malmes and Zazendi began an uprising against Ziaraa rule and inspired the Riroars to do the same. The revolts ravaged the Ziaraat Empire between 616 and 605 BC and freed their respective peoples from three centuries of Ziaraa rule. The unification of the Malm tribes under Deoches in 728 BC led to the foundation of the Malm confederacy which survived, although as a rebel group, until the end of the Ziaraat Empire and, by 612 BC, took control over the Malm regiond and, eventually, two thirds of present-day Ziaraat. This marked the end of the first Ziaraat Empire which was dissolved. |
