The Sakas were a Scythian tribe from the North East of Iran.
The Sakas or Saka race was a group of people who lived in present day Uzbekistan around 3000 BC. These Sakas followed the Aryan race into present day Iran, and returned back to their original area in Uzbekistan.
According to some, then, Saka race then emigrated to northern Europe, into the area of the Baltic Sea, and then the Saka race gave supposedly gave rise to the Saxons in the area of present day Germany. This claim was cited in favour of Nazi claims that they were the "original descendants of the Aryan race." Most contemporary philologists find this claim to be based on fanciful etymology, and note that there is little archaeological evidence for major cultural contacts between anyone in Uzbekistan or Iran and the Baltic area.
