Check historical info on the Scythian people below:
The Scythians a nation of horse-riding nomadic pastoralists originally of Iranian stock, who spoke an Iranian language, dominated the Pontic steppe throughout Classical Antiquity. Much of the surviving information about the Scyths comes from the Greek historian Herodotus (c. 440 BCE) in his Histories, and archaeologically from the exquisite goldwork found in Scythian burial mounds in Ukraine and Southern Russia.
Also, since ancient times non-Scyths have used the name "Scythian" more broadly to refer to various peoples who lived anywhere in a vast area covering present-day Ukraine, Russia and Central Asia — known until medieval times as Scythia. The name was also used among early scholars studying the Proto Indo-Europeans, and within the framework of the Kurgan hypothesis the Scythians are considered a reasonable analogue for their Proto Indo-European ancestors. | |
