Mongolians? In 1300BC? Wasn't it 2,500 years later, in like, 1200AD when they came rolling thru?

Attilla the Hun was around 450 AD too. Not exactly Mongolian, but very similar in the sense of being nomadic horse archers from the steppe.

They might actually be related. The huns originated from east of the Volga river (so east of the Scythians) and recent research identified genetic links to ancient Mongols

Scythian maybe?
