Periods through history
Pre-History
They originally were from Central Asia, Until Turco-Scythian Invaders called, Avars came and destroyed their kingdom and property. They pushed westward in about A.D 500 into Europe.
Arrival of the Slavs
The Slavs (Czech tribes in Bohemia and Moravians in Moravia) arrived in the sixth century. According to historian Dušan Třeštík, the first Slavs came through Moravian Gate (Moravská brána) valley and in 530 moved into the eastern Bohemia and along rivers Labe and Vltava further into central Bohemia. Many historians support theory of further wave of Slavs coming from the south during the first half of the seventh century.
