The Scythians // Nomadic Civilizations // Ancient History Documentary

The Scythians - a nomadic people who inhabited much of modern-day Central Asia and Siberia were known to be the fiercest warriors of their day, defeating large empires and debuting a style of warfare that would be adopted by subsequent nomadic empires such as the Huns or Mongols.

What we know about the Scythians comes from archeology and written sources of the peoples neighboring the Scythians, as they themselves left no written records. The Greek Historian Herodotus provides us a rich account of Scythian life, as well as their many military exploits in the Middle East during the 7th century BC.

In this video, we will be exploring the Scythian civilization and its impact on the world stage.
