Massageterne var et nomadisk folk bosat på de centralasiatiske stepper og øerne i floden Amu Darja.

Massageterne boede ved det nordøstlige af det kaspiske hav i det moderne Turkmenistan, vestlige Uzbekistan - og det sydlige af Kazakhstan.

Massageterne tilhørte Saka-folket,[1][2] og var en del af den Skytiske kultur,[3]

Greek and Persian historians of the 1st millennium BCE chronicle the existence of the Massagetae and Sauromatians, and later, the Sarmatians and Sacae: cultures possessing artefacts similar to those found in classical Scythian monuments, such as weapons, horse harnesses and a distinctive ‘Animal Style' artistic tradition. Accordingly, these groups are often assigned to the Scythian culture...
