Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brilliant horsemen and great fighters, the Scythians were nomadic horsemen who ranged wide across the grasslands of the Asian steppe from the Altai mountains in the east to the Great Hungarian Plain in the first millennium BC. Their steppe homeland bordered on a number of sedentary states to the south - the Chinese, the Persians and the Greeks - and there were, inevitably, numerous interactions between the nomads and their neighbours. The Scythians fought the Persians on a number of occasions, in one battle killing their king and on another occasion driving the invading army of Darius the Great from the steppe. Relations with the Greeks around the shores of the Black Sea were rather different - both communities benefiting from trading with each other. This led to the development of a brilliant art style, often depicting scenes from Scythian mythology and everyday life. It is from the writings of Greeks like the historian Herodotus that we learn of Scythian life: their beliefs, their burial practices, their love of fighting, and their ambivalent attitudes to gender. It is a world that is also brilliantly illuminated by the rich material culture recovered from Scythian burials, from the graves of kings on the Pontic steppe, with their elaborate gold work and vividly coloured fabrics, to the frozen tombs of the Altai mountains, where all the organic material - wooden carvings, carpets, saddles and even tattooed human bodies - is amazingly well preserved. Barry Cunliffe here marshals this vast array of evidence - both archaeological and textual - in a masterful reconstruction of the lost world of the Scythians, allowing them to emerge in all their considerable vigour and splendour for the first time in over two millennia.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Language of the Yue-Chi or Indo-Scythians The question of the nationality of the ancient Yue-ei is still unsettled. It is known that klaproth first classified them with Tibetans, but subsequently became converted to the theory of their indo-european origin, identifying them with the Goths.l The pan-turks who have done so much mischief to the history of Central Asia did not fail to claim the Yue-ei as their property.2 This speculation is exploded not only by the very remains of the Yue-ci language itself, but also by the formal statement of the Chinese annalists to the effect that the Yue-ci were different from the Hiun-nu; they belonged to the group of Hu, that is, Iranians.3 Most writers on the Yue-ci (and there is a goodly number of them) did not commit themselves to any opinion as to the ethnical position of the tribe.4 Nationality is based on language: I propose to examine the few remains of the ancient Yue-ci language (that is, in times prior to the foundation of the indo-scythian empire) preserved to us in the records of the Chinese and to offer some con elusions with regard to the position of their language.

Book excerpt: Origin and language of Scythians have interested both ancient and modern researchers since Herodotus introduced this great people onto the scene of history. The theory that Scythians are the branch of Iranian stock is still dominant today. But many puzzles remain unsolved and contradictions are flagrant. Transformed to scientific dogma this theory wiped out identity of a great people, making Scythians victims of unprecedented scientific genocide, buried under scholastic misunderstandings and prejudices. This essay offers different approach based on new reading of Herodotus, the main source for Scythians. Combining many disciplines (historiography, linguistics, anthropology) author demonstrates that more promising perspective is to explain Scythian language from Indo-Aryan. Scythian language, mythology, genealogy are reconstructed from scratch. The new vista might have direct influence on understanding not only of Scythian world but also of Indo-European histo ry in early times.
