Thanks for checking it out! I've already released one video, and plan to have an uploading schedule of about 1 video a week!

Hello! I haven't been on this forums for a while, but I thought I would share this with you (shameless promotion). Being the history buff that I am, over the past few weeks I have been working on a new project of mine. A youtube channel about visually recreating history through mapping! I doubt...

Thanks everyone for the advice! Behaviour/Customs are definitely something i'll have to think about. If indeed a tattoo would fit into the story, it might not be something to worry about much. Considering tattoos were so often seen on Scythians. But it could be mentioned. The Scythians were...

Hello! So i'm asking for help from any other history buffs who might know something about this but, in my wip novel (Historical Fiction), my main character meets a man (Main character is a Scythian and this man is supposed to be a Sarmatian, living there and all), and gradually notices some...

Thankyou Rabenfeld, I was aware that the we don't know much about the languages of that area but I haven't taken the time to do much research on it. I have indeed looked into Herodotus, a lot of my Scythian information has come from him. I'll look into the other languages you suggested...

Can you tell me anything you know on the language(s) of the Ancient Scythians (or nomadic tribes in that area)?

The nomadic people of the steppes and or Scythians, were nearly entirely made up of Horseman, whether it be horse archers, lancers, spears, etc. However the infantry of the Scythians was made up of mostly axeman. They Scythians were known for their Sagaris, which was an ancient battleaxe used...

My bad, I thought I said 800 BC. Sorry.

I'd like to confirm that my knowledge is in the Ancient world (BC). Not the medieval ages or times like these. So no, I don't know much about the Golden age.

It depends, are you aiming for your book to be historically accurate. If so, where in the world is your book/slingers set? I know they were used quite often in ancient Britons and possibly the Gauls (i dont remember). The younger, less battle-ready men/boys would fight with these slingers. They...

What do you know about the Ancient Mauryan Empires longbows? I read somewhere about them and I was wondering if any of you knew anything?

Im sorry but I don't understand your question. I should've mentioned this earlier, that my first language is infact Spanish.

So, i'm a bit of a fanatic when it comes to Ancient Empires. Since I was little I always liked the Ancient swords and bows, rather than the guns and cannons. Whether it be Warfare, Culture, Mythology, People. This knowledge ranges from around 2000BC to about 800 AD. This is mainly on...

More information i've been working on, i just filled in some questions for myself to answer! :) Enjoy! Shimmereth three civilisations: Garldath, Yooramath and Landorf. Terrazah Who was this godlike creature? Named Zah, lived the world helping people and their needs.While fighting and battling...

Yes, The winter is referring to a winter of human relations like a low point in human history. But your questions are great and making me think heaps more about the history and evolution of the civilization.
