Nomadic culture invading settled civilizations

Anders · 07-24-2012, 04:41 PM

Nomads has risen regularly from Central Asia to attack various high cultures. Aryans in India, Hyksos in Egypt, Persians in Mesopotamia (Achaemenids, Parthians, Sassanids), Huns in Europe and all the peoples who invaded China only to be assimilated into the Chinese. The list is not meant to be exhaustive.

Does anyone know if there's some resource about what cultural elements are retained and what are cast away after the conquest. Are there any commonalities between all these invasions, conquests and (partial) assimilations?
