As Scythians, probably, had no writing, we are compelled to address to antique sources, most important of which is 4 book of Herodot's "History" where seven deities of a Scythian pantheon are listed and two versions of a legend about an origin of Scythians - the unique Scythian myth kept entirely are stated.

Encyclopedia: Sarmatians The full panoply of peoples under the aegis of the Sarmatians must have spoken many languages, most Indo-European, some not; but it is perhaps no coincidence that the boundary between the so-called centum and satem languages apparently fell at the European border of the Sarmatians. Proto-Indo-European Indo-European studies Indo-European is originally a linguistic term, referring to the Indo-European language family. They ranged at greatest reported extent from the line of the Vistula and the mouth of the Danube eastward to the Volga, and from the mysterious domain of the Hyperboreans in the north southward to the shores of the Black and Caspian seas, including the region between them as far as the Caucasus mountains. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Sarmatians   (841 words)

Punjabi.net discussions chat forums Later, these indo-iranian scythians and related indo-iranian tribes milling about in central asia revived the old persian plans of invading europe (plans based on the sucessful colonisation of europe by the old aryas), then crashed into europe and destroyed the roman empire and settled there for good. Like the imagery on the Scythian carpet, icons dedicated to Ashera also have depictions of a "sacred-tree", most likely a reference to the cannabis that her followers grew and revered, using it as a sacrament, as a food and oil source, and also using the fibres in ritual weavings . Bactrian invasions in the northwest and Scythians in the northeast preceded the Muhammadan domination of the west and northwest which was to result in Moslem dynasties in these areas. www.punjabi.net /talk/messages/1/40846.html   (13160 words)

Scythia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Scythians were also known for their usage of barbed and poisoned arrows of several types, a nomadic life centered around horses — "fed from horse-blood" according to Herodotus — and skill in guerrilla warfare. Scythian elite were buried in kurgans, high barrows heaped over chamber-tombs of larch-wood — a deciduous conifer that may have had special significance as a tree of life-renewal, for it stands bare in winter. The Scythians feature in the national origin legends of the Celts; they are also claimed by some romantic nationalist writers to have figured in the formation of the empire of the Medes and likewise of Caucasian Albania, the precursor in Antiquity of the modern-day Azerbaijan Republic. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Scythians   (4241 words)

Hearing Archives :Committee on Ways & Means :: U.S. House of Representatives : The Scythians conquered most of that province, Indo-Greeks retaining only its eastern part where silver mines supported what remained of their  power. By the beginning of the Christian era the remnants of the Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythian kingdoms had fallen to the Indo-Parthians and to the Yueh-Chih, who later became known as the Kushans. The Scythian invasion continued from Bactria down the western edge of the central Afghan massif, then eastward through the southern province of Arachosia and beyond to the Indus. waysandmeans.house.gov /hearings.asp?formmode=view&id=3640   (4058 words)

Indo-Greek Kingdom While the Yuezhi were to stay in Bactria for more than a century, the Scythians went on to the south-east into northern Pakistan to form Indo-Scythian kingdoms, seemingly recognizing the power of the local Indo-Greeks rulers there. They then progressively lost their southern territories to the Indo-Scythians until around 80 BC, when Taxila was taken by the Scythian king Maues. One can not assume however that the present Greek population is representative of the Macedonian army under Alexander.This army probably contained a large number of Persians and other groups such as Scythians and Thracians.The Macedonians themselves may not have been genetically 'Greek',since they where intially considered outsiders by 'Greeks'. www.mlahanas.de /Greeks/History/IndoGreekKingdom.html   (3411 words)

FToI: A Brief History of the Iranics However, I should emphasize that the Turkic speaking people were already the result of a much more ancient mixing between Scythian and Parthian Iraniks of Central Asia with Mongol-Altaic tribes. Azerbaijan, before the Arab Muslim occupation of Iran, was a land that hosted a mixture of Scythian, Parthians, and Median tribes. However, since the Sassanids destroyed almost everything that was Parthian, many available historical sources cite that the Chief Zoroastrian Magi under Shahpour was called Athurpat (the Guardian of Fire). freethoughts.org /archives/000641.php   (111 words)

Kurdica: An Indo-European Language Kurdish is a member of the Indo-Iranian language group which is a branch of the Indo-European family, the largest language family in the world. While we may concede that SIL is reporting on ethnolinguistic and sociolinguistic difference, we should not accept that low intelligibility of spoken and/or written language between communities is incontrovertible evidence for the existence of distinct languages. For example, Ethnologue doubles the number of languages that I, as a linguist who with colleagues has done a dialect survey of the whole of Guatemala, recognize for that country. www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk /~siamakr/Kurdish/iran-lang.html   (1801 words)

Scythia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However, since their language, Scythian, has been shown to have strong similarities to Eastern Iranian, it is generally held that the Scythians were of Iranian origin. The subject peoples in the periphery steppes were also commonly referred as "Scythians", but didn't speak Iranian languages as did the Scythians proper. All that is known to us at the present time about the culture of the population of the High Altai, who have left behind them the large cairns, permits us to refer them to the Scythian period, and the Pazyryk group in particular to the fifth century BC. www.bucyrus.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Scythian   (3062 words)

Indo-Parthian Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Following the weakening of the Parthian empire after conflicts with Rome and the death of Mithridates II in 92 BC, the Suren, a noble Parthian family of Arsacid descent, started to make inroads into eastern territories that had been occupied by the Indo-Scythians and the Yuezhi, until the demise of the last Indo-Scythian emperor Around 20 AD, Gondophares, one of the Parthian conquerors, declared his independence from the Parthian empire and established the Indo-Parthian kingdom in the conquered territories.

Parthians (250 BC - 225 AD) - DBA 51 Enemies of the Parthians in the DBA list include Kushan (21b), Scythian (25), Later Seleucid (41b), Armenian (44), Bactrian and Indo-Greek (50), fellow Parthians (51), Han Chinese (54), Early Rhoxolani Sarmatian (55a), Siracae, Iazyges, or Later Rhoxolani Sarmatian (55c), Pontic (58), Marian Roman (59), Early Imperial Roman (64), Middle Imperial Roman (69), Early Sassanid (73a). Parthian defeat often came when the ratio of cataphracts to horse archers was too high or when the charge came before the enemy was sufficiently disordered. Parthian cataphracts wore iron or bronze armour from head to foot and their horses were covered all around by scale armour of iron, bronze or leather. www.fanaticus.org /DBA/armies/dba51.html   (282 words)

A Plagiarist is Found: Part 1 - The Scythians, Sarmatians, Meotians, Russians and Circassians: Interpretation of the Ancient Cultures by Sergei V. Rjabchikov - English The Scythian goddess of the earth, Api, is the wife of Papaios. The nomad and farming Sarmatians (Sauromatae) related to the Scythians were closely connected with farming Meotians in the Kuban region for an appreciable length of time, from about 1st century B.C. - 2nd century A.D. One can suppose that the common culture was based on the nearness of the languages of both components. Auchatai is the nation of Leipoxais; Katiari and Traspians are the nations of Arpoxais; Paralatai (the Royal Scythians) is the nation of Kolaxais. public.kubsu.ru /~usr02898/sl2_i_.htm   (7988 words)

History - Jats and The Scythians It is not impossible, however, that we have confirmatory evidence of the Scythian origin of the Haihayas as Col. Tod supposed". (3) The Scythians who were very probably men with broad faces, and high cheek-bones, sturdy and short in stature, are little likely to have been the ancestors of a tall-statured and long-headed people like the Jats. In short, it has been suspected by many European Orientalists that a Central Asian genealogy entered India with the Indo-Scythic races and was cleverly engrafied on the Indo-Aryan genealogical tree by the unscrupulous Hindu ethnologist, who dubbed the descendants of the barbarian invaders as Kshatriyas of the Lunar race. www.sikhnet.com /sikhnet/discussion.nsf/SearchView/D5CAC79F1DFDD16D87256A57004CFD5D!OpenDocument   (1418 words)

Origin of the Indo-European languages: Part V Among the Indo-European languages of Asia, there is an important one which forms an independent group. Osetin is a vestige of the aggregate of Scythian languages which were predominant in meridional Russia before Scythian people were driven back by the Slavs. In the valleys of Pamir, the groups speaking Iranian language are lost in the middle of towns and villages that speak in Turkish and Indian dialects. www.sanskrit-sanscrito.com.ar /english/linguistics/origin5.html   (1479 words)

ONSNUMIS.ORG - Kshaharata Questions The reverse shows Nike, as on all obverses of Abhiraka and it is very close to the Nike appearing on some coppers of Gondophares I. This suggests that this new ruler was also an Indo-Parthian or Scythian. It would seem that Scythians had been settled in this area for centuries (see ONS Newsletter 158, p.17-20) and since Zeionises is called the Satrap of Chukhsa I would suggest that it is to be found somewhere close to Kashmir. In my decades of coin collecting, I have seen that practically all the coins of Zeionises turn up, both silver and copper, in the Indian part of present Kashmir. www.onsnumis.org /articles/kshaharata.shtml   (1971 words)

Bibliography Page 31 Administritive de-centralisation, which had earlier been an asset to the Indo-Greeks, led to the downfall of the Indo-Scythian realm which, fragmented among increasingly powerful satraps, became easy prey to Kushan and Indo-Parthian expansion. A list of Parthian musical instruments in Herodian and Plutarch, the "Asiatic cither" (Strabo), representations on Parthian coins. The Sakas who settled in western Afghanistan eventually reached an equilibrium with Parthia about 80 B.C. and issued a series of modified Parthian silver drachms during the rest of the first century B.C. Both Parthian-style drachms struck by these Sakas and drachms struck by the Parthians themselves in their eastern provinces are considered. www.parthia.com /webreport_31.htm   (1971 words)

Indo-Aryan Languages The Indo-Aryan (`Arya') family of languages is one of the major language families of the world. These languages of this category are considered the `purest' descendants of Sanskrit, being spoken in Aryavarta, the `pure land of the Aryans', also known as Aryadesha or Madhyadesha. Of these, the languages in the first two categories are extinct (dead), while Sanskrit has been preserved as the sacred language of the Vedas and other sciptures sacred to the Aryan Vishnuite religion. www.geocities.com /Athens/Ithaca/1335/Lang/prakrit.html   (3044 words)

Talk:Sarmatians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And Croatians speak a Slavic language, so unless you want to argue that all Slavs are Sarmatians-- which would be hard, since IIRC there are clear differences between the Slavic and Indo-Iranian language families -- your theory will have to account for this development also. Historical linguistics is the study of regular diachronic sound changes in languages. Amorphous has never meant nomadic and could never be interpreted as such by someone whose 1st language is English. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Sarmatians   (798 words)

Indo-Europeans: The Invisible Race However, according to the distinguished Greek Professor of Archaeology, Christos Douma, 90% of the "Indo-European" words believed to correspond with Greek words, are, in reality, nothing more than the hypothetical products of the over-active imaginations of Indo-Europeanizing philologists. And even the much-vaunted Scythian civilization, so familiar to the Greeks of the classical age, was so deeply influenced by Hellas, that virtually all of its artifacts are almost identical copies of those of the Greeks of a more ancient period. The Indo-Europeanizers, of course, persist in their views, claiming that there are many similarities between the Neolithic Greek civilization and that of the corresponding ones which developed in the Balkans (from today's Serbia to present-day Moldavia), which they, of course, consider to be Indo-European. www.grecoreport.com /indo-europeans_the_invisible_race.htm   (798 words)
