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, this Saka race with an affiliated tribe under a different name emigrated to northern Europe, into the area of the Baltic Sea. This Saka race and especially their affiliated tribe whose name is more correlated to the word Saxon , gave rise (supposedly )to the Saxons tribe 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. But many Germans believe that there was a connection between the people in the central Asia region and their German ancestors, who were migrants from the East; this is in contrast to the French ethnologist Monsieur H. Hubert's belief that suggested that the blond-haired people came from the Atlas mountains of Morrocco, and this blond people migrated out of Morrocco, moving northward along the Atlantic sea shore all the way to the Baltic lake during the European Ice Age, surviving all the way by feeding on sea produces along the Euro-Atlantic coast line, which has large historic deposits of sea shells in man made open air depots which were discovered by Euro scientists.
