Khamekits

Khamekits (Ingush: Хамхи) were an ancient Ingush tribe living in North Caucasus during first century AD. They were mentioned by Strabo in his work Geographica.[1] According to most researchers, Khamekits are ancestors of Ingushes that lived in vast area of mountainous Ingushetia, including the Dorkhe Valley with a center in Khamkhi.[2][3][4][5][6]
