The Scythians


An extraordinary 2,500-year-old grave of an ancient warrior couple has been found in Siberia.

The pair are believed to have died in their 30s and were buried with a baby and an 'elderly' servant woman, archaeologists say.

The elderly woman was likely in her 60s when she died and was entombed in a crumpled position under the feet of feet of the couple, who may have been spouses.

Remains of the child were scattered throughout the grave, which archaeologists say probably happened when rodents ate the flesh of the deceased.

The female in the grave was armed in with a long-handled weapon, either a hatchet or an axe, and a short sword.

These weapons are best suited for hand-to-hand combat.

The Scythians were a barbaric group of horse-riding nomads who dominated a vast stretch of Eurasia from around the ninth to first centuries BC.

Among outsiders, they had a reputation as brutal warriors, renowned for their ability to shoot arrows with deadly accuracy from horseback.

Writing in the fifth century BC, Greek historian Herodotus claimed that after battle, the Scythians made cloaks from their victims' scalps.

It is said the savage warriors made drinking cups from their enemies' skulls and drank their blood to celebrate victories.

GREAT BUT THAT 2,500 YEARS IS STILL UNDER PROBERBILITY . THOUGH IT'S STILL BETTER THAN THOSE DINASAUR HUNTERS BECAUSE IF IT'S WERE TO BE DINASAUR THAT WAS DISCOVERED THEY WILL TELL US THAT IT IS 2,500 MILLION YEARS OLD FORGETTING THAT DINASAURAUS AND OTHER BEHEMOTHS WERE WIPED OUT DURING THE GREAT FLOOD WHICH IS NOT MORE THAN SIX THOUSAND YEARS AGO
