Atteas: Invades Macedonia. Phillip II: What are you doing steppe bro?

Its a shame that like many of the nomadic cultures they barely wrote about their own histories, its lucky for us that they were close to the Greeks who loved writing things down.

Nomadic history and society is criminally underrated. Even in the modern day this fascinating lifestyle is suppressed.

Herodotus: The scythians are a bunch of brutes and barbarians. Scythian, totatlly high: Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

As far as I'm concerned, Heracles x Snake Waifu is the only acceptable canon for the Scythian genesis.

Thank you for this! I have always found the lacking material available on the Scythians, Thracians, Dacians, and Sarmatians to be truly criminal.

I'm not a historian so take my words with a grain of salt. I've read over the years that the pastoral cultures of eurasian steppes were very good weavers. the color patterns in these garments resembled their clan. Over the years these colored patterns became more complex by marriage alliances between clans. the colors and patterns of one clan got mixed with the other clan and so on. This was probably important for recognition's sake. if a rider would encounter another group he could tell whether he was alligned with them or not. A shared white stripe in the middle could mean that they would be related eventhough the other colors might not match because their clans splitted a couple of generations before diversifying their woven clothes and flags etc.

"One trick Steppe ponies".......did one of the writers just become a dad!? CONGRATS!

Remember, just light a beacon to call for the aid of the horse lords.

I just want to congratulate for this amazing effort and this magnificent video.!! Truly impressive how thw Scythians adapted and covered such large areas. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

Excellent work! Thanks for all the research and hard work you've done to create these super informative videos.

"Philip was a military genius in his own right" Honestly, I'd argue he was the superior military leader of the two of them. He created the army Alexander used to conquer Persia, he trained most of Alexander's generals, and he had more consistent success consolidating his conquests. Heck, the plan to invade Persia was originally Philip's

A Scythian hotbox is the only thing that can qualify as a real party to me from now onwards XD

You guys always make some of the best history content on YT. I have learned so much about history - of topics that are either known or unknown to me - from your amazing videos!

These are the best documentaries I've seen in awhile. LOVING IT

"This gnome looking, pointy hat things" made me laugh so hard...

"Gnome looking pointy hat things." The narrator always sounds so educated and intellectual, it's always awesome when he takes a shot.

The Scythian tribe like Sacae & Massagetae that migrated to India have descendants in JAT tribe of Northern India & Pakistan. They still specialize in Agriculture & Animal husbandry and never give up the virtue of warrior as an example they are just 2% of Indian population but have largest number in Indian Army and have their own regiment in Army named after them as JAT Regiment.
