"The Scythians"

The Scythians were an ancient group of nomadic warriors who thrived from around the 9th century BCE to the 1st century BCE, primarily in the region that is now Ukraine, southern Russia, and parts of Central Asia. They are known for their exceptional horse-riding skills, metalwork, and distinctive art style, which often featured animal motifs. The Scythians played a significant role in the history of the Eurasian steppe, interacting with other cultures such as the Greeks and Persians. Their society was organized into tribes, and they are often recognized for their influence on later nomadic groups and cultures in the region.
