I have loved this series.. I had never heard of these people! So fasinating!
Very interesting. Thank you.
0:11 Thats one of my favorite objects in the whole exhibition
If you're going to do these videos, go all in. 8-12 minute videos that really do the pieces some justice.
I copied the link for you. The lion represents the house of Israelites
Been interested in this culture for a while. They are often shown wearing a "cone hat" sock or keppie? Striped and top tilts forward. The hat follows history? Maybe follows the tribe of Dan? Wasn't Lydia an ancient rival of Scythia? Be interested in Lydia. The Scythians are also credited with the first re-curve bow shapes. Made their arrows more than deadly; over slings, etc.
James Tod[25] writes that the tribes here alluded to are the Haihaya or Aswa, the Takshak, and the Jat or Getae; the similitude of whose theogony, names in their early genealogies, and many other points, with the Chinese, Tatar, Mogul, Hindu, and Scythic races, would appear to warrant the assertion of one common origin.
Professor B. S. Dhillon states that the Jats are mainly of Indo-Scythian lineage with composite mixing of Sarmatians, Goths & Jutes in History and study of the Jats.[26] Historian James Tod agreed in considering the Jats to be of Indo-Scythian Stock.[27] Moreover, Sir Alexander Cunningham, Former Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India, considered the Jats to be the Xanthii (a Scythian tribe) of Scythian stock who he considered very likely called the Zaths (Jats) of early Arab writers.[28] He stated "their name is found in Northern India from the beginning of the Christian era." These people were considered by early Arab writers to have descended from Meds and Zaths.[29][30] Sir Cunningham believed that they "were in full possession of the valley of the Indus towards the end of the seventh century.[31]
Stephen Fuchs suggests that the Jats probably migrated from Central Asia to India as a "predatory nomadic tribe".[32] Natalya Romanovna Guseva considered the Jats to be the descendants of the Sakas.[33]
It has also been suggested that "the Rajputs proper were of mixed origin - pre-Muslim invaders such as Scythians, Bactrians, Parthians, Hunas and Gurjaras who came in before, say, the end of the 7th century."[34]
Sir Alexander Cunningham, (Former Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India) wrote: The Xanthii (a Scythian tribe) are very probably the Zaths (Jats) of the early Arab writers. As the Zaths were in Sindh to the west of the Indus, this location agrees very well with what we know of the settlement of the Sakas (Scythians) on the Indian frontier.[35]
Sir John Marshall, (Former Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India) wrote: "These Scythian invaders came principally from the three great tribes of Massagetae (great Jats), Sacaraucae, and Dahae (still exists as a Jat clan of Punjab)[36], whose home at the beginning of the second century B.C. was in the country between the Caspian sea (sea) and the Jaxartes river (Central Asia).[37]
Arthur Edward Barstow wrote: "Greeks of Bactria (partly modern Afghanistan), expelled by the hordes of Scythians, entered India in the second and first centuries BC and are said to have penetrated as far as Orissa (an Indian province in south-east). Meanwhile the Medii, Xanthii, Jatii, Getae and other Scythian races, were gradually working their way from the banks of the Oxus (River valley in Central Asia) into Southern Afghanistan and the pastoral highland about Quetta (a Pakistani city), whence they forced their way by the Bolan Pass, through the Sulaiman Mountains into India, settling in the Punjab about the beginning of the first century AD. It is from these Scythian immigrants that most of the Jat tribes are at any rate partly descended."[38]
A. H. Bingley wrote: "It is from these Scythian Immigrants that most of the Jat tribes are at any rate partly descended."[39]
Professor Joyce Pettigrew wrote: "Another view holds that the Jats came from Asia Minor and Armenia in the successive invasions during the period 600 B.C. to A.D. 600."[40]
Professor Henry Smith Williams wrote: "The extent of the Scythian invasion has been variously estimated. Some scholars believe that they virtually supplanted the previous population of India (means Punjab), and there seems little doubt that by far the most numerous section of the Punjab population is of Scythian origin."[41]
Professor Pritam Singh Gill wrote: "There is a general concensus of opinion that Jats, and with them Rajputs and Gujjars were foreigners who came from their original home, near the Oxus, Central Asia."[42]
Professor Tadeusz Sulimirski wrote: "The evidence of both the ancient authors and the archaeological remains point to a massive migration of Sacian (Sakas)/Massagetan ("great" Jat) tribes from the Syr Daria Delta (Central Asia) by the middle of the second century B.C. Some of the Syr Darian tribes; they also invaded North India."[43]
Horace Arthur Rose wrote: "Many of the Jat tribes of the Punjab have customs which apparently point to non-Aryan origin. Suffice it to say that both Sir Alexander Cunningham and Colonel Tod agreed in considering the Jats to be of Indo-Scythian Stock. The former identified them with the Zanthi of Strabo (Greek Geographer of the ancient times) and the Jatii of Pliny (Roman writer) and Ptolemy (Another Greek Geographer of the ancient times); and held that they probably entered the Punjab from their home on the Oxus (in Central Asia) very shortly after the Meds or Mands (still exist as one of the Jat clans of the Punjab), who also were Indo-Scythians, and who moved into the Punjab about a century before Christ."[44]
Sir Henry Miers Elliot wrote: "These ignorant tribes (Jats) pointing to the remote Ghazni (Afghanistan) as their original seat, the very spot we know to have been occupied by the Yuechi, or, as Klaproth says, more correctly, Yuti, in the first centuries of our era, after the Sakas (a Scythian tribe) were repelled back from the frontiers of India, and left the country between India and Persia open for their occupation. The Jat tribes not doubt emigrated, no at all once, but at different times, and it is probable that those in the North-West are among the latest importations."[45]
I. Sara wrote: "Recent excavations in the Ukraine and Crimea. The finds points to the visible links of the Jat and Scythians."[46]
Sir Mountstuart Elphinstone Grant Duff wrote: "My conclusion, therefore, is, that the Jats may be of Scythian descent."[47]
Ujagir Singh Mahil wrote: "Jat were called Scythians; because they were the inhabitants of the ancient country of Scythia. The Jats who invaded the Punjab and conquered India up to Benares were called Indo-Scythians."[48]
James Francis Katherinus Hewitt wrote: "Further evidence both of the early history and origin of the race of Jats, or Getae, is given by the customs and geographical position of another tribe of the same stock, called the Massagetae, or great (massa) Getae."[49]
Sir George Fletcher MacMunn (Sir and Lt. General) wrote: "Alexander came to India in his capacity as the holder of the Persian throne. From his camp near Kabul (Afghanistan), the Macedonian (Alexander) summoned those chiefs whom Skylax (Persian general) had conquered in the old time afore, to come and renew their homage to their ancient Persian overlord in the person of himself. Several obeyed his summons, others did not, and it has been surmised that those who did were later arrivals, of Jat or Scythian origin, outside the normal Aryan fold as later comers to India."[50]
Syed Muhammad Latif wrote: "A considerable portion of the routed army of the Scythians settled in the Punjab, and a race of them, called Nomardy, inhabited the country on the west bank of the Indus (river). They are described as a nomadic tribe, living in wooden houses, after the old Scythian fashion, and settling where they found sufficient pasturage. A portion of these settlers, the descendants of Massagetae, were called Getes, from whom sprung the modern Jats."[51]
Dr. Gopal Singh wrote: "The Jats of the Panjab, are Scythians in origin and came from Central Asia, whose one branch migrated as far south in Europe as Bulgaria. "[52]
N. Singh wrote: "The Scythians appear to originate from Central Asia. They reached Punjab between 50 B.C. and A.D. 50. It seems probable that the Scythian ancestors of the Jats entered the Sindh Valley (presently in Pakistan Kashmir) between 100 B.C. and A.D. 100."[53]
Satya Shrava wrote: "The Jats are none other than the Massagetae (Great Getae) mentioned in Diodorus as an off-spring of the ancient Saka tribe.... a fact now well-known."[54]
Bakhshish Singh Nijjar wrote: "The Jats are the descendants of Scythians, whose kingdom's capital was Scythia, in the present Ukraine (Ukrainian), Soviet Social Republic, is the constituent Republic of the European USSR (Population 49,757,000) in 1947. Now Ukraine's capital is Kiev, the third leading city in Russia. Before the invasion of the golden herd, 13th century B.C. Scythian, ancient kingdom of indeterminate boundaries, centered in the area north of the Black Sea."[55]
Rima Hooja suggests that the Jats are "probably descendants of the Scythians who entered India in early historical times".[56]
Not sure how he comes up with the maker of the blanket not seing a lion?? Much trade and people roaming to and fro happened in those times, that aside the image isnt of a lion it is of a "Tiger" and those were very much seen and dealt with in those times especially in the area of the scythians home range.. as we know the Siberian Tiger still roams the areas now and were much more established alongside other creatures.
To me, the applique look like Dogs or Wolves with artistic license as much as they look like Lions with artistic license. Mr Simpson, are we certain they are lions? Is there a 'trail' of them migrating from the near east to southern Siberia?
WTF! I appreciate what your doing but I have to pause too often to meaningfully see the objects in question. Outrageous Sirs and Ladies!!!
Step, Nomad, Horse/Horse milk+meat eaters/Horse riders, Trousers, Kurgan culture is a protoTurk (Cimmerian, Scythian, Sak, Sarmatian, Massaget, Hun, Alan, Avar, Peceneg, Khazar...) culture from Altai to Danube!
Here you go ...you want to know whos who? ruclips.net/video/3UV5BYLtJTo/видео.html
Tuvans are descendant of Scythians.
Schytian ,,, hun,,, magyar,,is the continuation
Scythians are of Turkish/Turanian origin!
Scythians / Sakas still live in the Saka Republic in Siberia, under the name Saka Turks / Yakuts.
@Griffith Taka Ttrue history lesson from HONEST European scientists and historians!!!!
A. Freeman (History of Europe ), 1877 “When the Aryans first came into Europe, they found men living there who were neither Aryan nor Semitic and whom, as they pushed on step by step they destroyed or drove into corners. İn same few parts of Europe there still are some remains of these old non-Aryan races. These are the Hungarians and the Turks, both of whom made their way into Europe in times of which the history is well known.”
* Moses w. Redding, Illustrated History of Freemansonry, Kessinger Publ.1997 p.194 “in the ancient world the tipical Turanians were the Egyptians; in the modern, the Chinese and Japanese and perhaps the Mexicans. the Turanians existed in the valley of the Euphrates before the Semitic or Aryan races came there the oldest people in Europe of this family are the Pelasgi and the Etruscans. the race also appears in the Magyars, Finns and Lapps, but ultimately they were everywhere owerpowered by the aryans who drove them into remote corners”
* Hodder M. Westropp, Handbook of Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman Archeolohy, Kessinger Publisching 2003, p.482 “The Etruscans appear to be an original Turanian race which formed the underlying stratum of population over the whole world, and which cropped up, like the Basques in Spain, in that part of Italy and Etruria”
* After a week-long meeting in İtaly (Florence) Prof.Dr Giovannangelo Comporeale (1995) “one of the most authoritative scientists regarding Etruscan studies, agreed to the fact that ancient Etruscan inscriptions were written in Turkic tounge”
* Victoria Institute (Great Britain), Journal of the Transactions of the Victoria Institute… 2009 p.200) “that the Etruscans were Turanians, and that they belonged to the north Turanian or Altaic branch stem, cannot be denied”
* Leon Cahun (Revue Oriantale 1875-76) "Origine Touranienne de L'idiome Qui a Precede en France Les Langues Aryennes"
Leon Cahun found that nearly 500 place names in France are of Turkish origin.
* Prof. Erich Feight (Austrian writer and documentary filmmaker) Istanbul Technical University 2005 “This land is yours. You didn’t settle in Anatolia after the Battle of Malazgirt. Archeological findings at Catalhoyuk prove that you have been here for more than 10,000 years.”
* Francisko Adolfo de Varnhagen L'origine Touranienne Aamericains Tupiscaribes Et Des Anciens Egyptiens -1876 (It says that the Native Americans are of Turanian origin)
* Jules Opart, Expedition Scientifique en Mesopotamie 1851-1854) This book proves that the findings of the excavations are of Turanian origin
* Anders Götherström (Uppsala Univ. Associate Professor of Evolutionary Genetics) Dagens Nyheter 2010 “Not only Swedes but all Europeans are of Turkish origin.”
* Prof. Sven Lagerbring (Similarities of Swedish with Turkish ) 1764, “Our ancestors are Turks who are comrades of Odin. We have got enough evidence on this subject.”
Sturluson, 13 Century
“Troy is a Turkish country… Turks left the country… The AS Turks who came to Europe brought Turkish ceremonies here and the laws of the TURKS were applied here.
* Dr.Ida Bobula - Origin of the Hungarian Nation,1966, Hungary All Turkish peoples, Uighurs, Kök-Turks, Ottoman Turks, belong to that central group of Eurasian humanity which we are calling "Scythian"."
*James Ferguson, Rude Stone Monuments In All Countries
…as we have had occasion to point out above, the dolmen-buildiers of Europe certainly were not Aryan... from shorty before the christian era, till the countries in which they are found became entirely and essentially christian, the use of these monuments seem to have been continual, whenever a dolmen-building race or in other words, a race with any taint of Turanian blood in their veins
James Ferguson ,1872
The ancestors of the Scots were Scythians.
*Attaliates, Byzantine historian
“Scythians and Turks of the same race”
B.G. Niebuhr, German historian, the founding father of modern scientific historiography
“Scythians are not Aryan”
*V. Tatishchev, Russian scholar, 18th century,
“the Iranians, the Germanan and the Chinese can not be Scythian”
*M. Vizantiyets,
Old Turks are named as "saka" and for the Byzantine emperor II Justianus, the agreement letter send by gokturks (for sasanian peace), was written in the Scythians language, known as the "barbarian Turks”…
*K. Noyman, German Historian,
1855 Scythians are the ancestors of the Turks”
*M.F Zakiyevic (Kazan Tartar Turk), Russian Academy of Sciences,
“…From the second half of the 18th century, they started to become insterested in the history of the Greek, of which A.Lizlov (the first edition of his book in 1692) indicates that the Turks and Tartars came from the scythians”
*Valentyn Stetsiuk, Ukraine
“…all these linguistic findings combined with archaeological artifacts allow to confirm that Scythian had Turkic origin and modern Chuvashes are Scythians descendants.”
*Peter Vaczy, Hungarian
The Scythians… originally originated from the great family of SAKA tribes that covered the whole Turkestan, and also the entire Siberian steppes.
You guys are trying to create the false history for Turk,but, the evidence that the archio logist present us The Scythian , Saka were Indo Iranian,or simply eastern Iranian like Parthia and khoushan people, please respect the history of humanity for the sake of next generation, don't be so aggressive against other race or groups of people are not belong to your ethnicity
