Prepare to meet the Scythians…

2,500 years ago, fearsome warriors roamed the plains of Siberia. Feared, loathed, admired – but over time forgotten… Until now.

This major exhibition explores the story of the Scythians – nomadic tribes and masters of mounted warfare, who flourished between 900 and 200 BC. Their encounters with the Greeks, Assyrians and Persians were written into history but for centuries all trace of their culture was lost – buried beneath the ice.

Explore their lost world and discover the splendour, the sophistication and the sheer power of the mysterious Scythians.

Scythian is a philosophy of life, a morality, a human behavior. Which tribe lived in this morality was called scythian. The Scythians signed a blood treaty and helped each other both in cultural and social development. That is why the Scythian empire was strong and unified, because all the Scythian tribes were for one another, not against each other, as in the present age.

The Legacy of Scythians
by Valentyn Stetsiuk
(Extract from "Research into Prehistoric Ethnogenetic Processes in East Europe", Book two)

Abstract
The second part of the book deals with the ethnic paternity of Scythians. In book one of the "Research into Prehistoric Ethnogenetic Processes in East Europe" we found out that a Turkish tribe of Bulgar was settled on the area westward from the river Dnepr since III mill. BC. Ukrainian archeologists found here some artifacts of the earlier Scythian culture, which have its roots in native cultures of this region. While no native roots of the Scythian culture can be found in other regions of Ukraine. Therefore, assumption can be advanced that Scythian culture belonged to old Bulgarians, whose descendants are modern Chuvashs. Comparison of Scythian onomasticon (= the list of proper names) with modern Chuvash lexicon was performed in order to check this hypothesis. Onomasticon list is available in the Ukrainian text below. Out of 199 words of Scytian onomasticon have 130 Chuvash parallels. Some examples are the following:

Scyth. Argaio (Argaio) - Chuv. a rkay "trout";
Scyth. Dokiwn (Dokion) - Chuv. ta k "pour"+ yun ‘blood";
Scyth. Zoulemhs (Dzoulemes) - Chuv. çüleveç "lynx";
Scyth. Zwrqtinhs (Dzortthtinnes) - Chuv. ça rttan "pike" (fish);
Scyth. Pasarou (Pasarou) - Chuv. pa sara "polecat";
Scyth. Saitafarnou (Saitfarnou) - Chuv. se te "add" + parne "present, gift";
Scyth. Satra-baths (Satra-bates) - Chuv. sa ta r "rub" + pa ta "porridge, gruel".

Topics and personages of Scythian mythology also can be explained with the means of Chuvash language. For example, Scytian gods Papay and Api are correlated to Greek Zeus and Gea. Chuv. "papay "grandfather, old man"and epi "grandmother" ("old woman") sound very suitable here.

The explanation of Scythian legend about Targitaios and his three sons Lipoxais, Arpaxais, Kolaxais as well Scytian toponimy are given in the book.

All these linguistic findings combined with archaeological artifacts allow to confirm that Scythian had Turkic origin and modern Chuvashs are Scytians descendants.

They were not forgotten. Scythians / Sakas still live in the Saka Republic in Siberia, under the name Saka Turks / Yakuts.
Scythians and Sarmatians are of Turkish/Turanian origin!
They're here...

[sevketefe]

Scythians are Turkic / Iranic coalition but only in the East Europe in the Middle Asia Scythians are only pure Turkic

[notorious]

"The Europe-centered researchers describe the Sacae (Scythians) as the predecessors of the İranians, but in fact they are the ancestors of the Turkic peoples. In recent years, those who study the work of Europe-centered researchers, have proven that they contain too many mistakes and are not scientific proofs. Historical datas, legends-myths, archaeological, ethno-cultural identity and linguistic resources revealed that the descendants of ancient Sacae' are the Turks."
