This was not quite the case with Cyrus the Great who would go on to depose his grandfather, and to begin the Persian Empire. Friedrich von Spiegel,[9] Sten Konow,[10] Ernst Herzfeld,[11] James Hope Moulton,[12] Wojciech Skalmowski[13][14] and some other scholars[15] think that Cambyses (Kambujiya) is adjectival form of the Sanskrit tribal name Kamboja.[16][17][9][18][11] Toynbee discusses the issue of two Persian names Kambujiya (Cambyses) as well as Kurush (Cyrus) at length and regards them both as derived from the two Eurasian nomads, the Kambojas and the Kurus mentioned in the Sanskrit texts and who, according to him, had entered India and Iran in the Volkerwanderung of 8th and 7th century BC.[20][21] From Cyrus to Alexander : a history of the Persian Empire. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9345.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9345.txt
