Description

The Sycthians were a semi-nomadic mounted ethny on the land, that is today known as Ukraine, ca. 700 - 100 B.C.. As they became wealthy by the silk-road, they were famous for their metalwork, especially in gold and their military strenght. In the battle of Laxertes (Syr-Darya in our days) they almost overthrow Alexander the Great. If they had, Europe would look different. Later on they dissolved in the Rus of Kiev. P.S.: The "Rohirrim" in the P. Jackson-Movie "Lord of the Rings" are said to be derived from them. AI-assisted reconstruction of people rich and poor (gold or copper). Because of a lack of sources, this was difficult, and the results are bit awkward. :(
