👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Great job on the video, amd thanks for exploring this iranian aryan history.

[@47morlock]

pretty good. i hope your channel will grow quickly.

[@boringoldhistory]

Thanks mate. I'm doing everything from my side, and leave the rest on viewers to decide. I hope they like what I do, if they do, this channel would obviously grow...

[@BenSHammonds]

very interesting well made program

[@SL92018]

We're not ended, we still exist in the form of Ossetians (we call ourselves Alans) in the Caucasus and all the other people in the region descended from them. As a distinct Scythians language group population, we still exist. And not we're not Caucasians who underwent language replacement, that myth has been debunked. We're still here! We're small in number but we haven't become extinct. Best wishes all!

What is the difference between Scythian & Sarmatian? Both were North Eastern Iranians?

[@greatman-k9h]

*How you know?*

[@VerbalWarrior162]

The original Scythians and Sarmatians were an Iranian people in origin, Over time the Scythians in the East would have been replaced by East Asians and the Scythians in Central Asia would have become mixed. History has preserved the names of some of them: Ishpakaia, Bartatua, Madyes, Idanthyrsus, , Skyles, Tigratavā , Octamasadas, Xāravalāna, Artavatauxma, Zarinaea, Sodasa, Sawarmag, Saurmag, and Zari- "golden". This was the name of a legendary Saka (Scythian) warrior queen. They are descended from what is called andronovo horizon they are Indo-Iranian horse nomads Iranians speaker, they have Iranian names.

[@VerbalWarrior162]

@@greatman-k9h In Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, the name "Scythian" was used in Greco-Roman and Byzantine literature for various groups of nomadic "barbarians" living on the Pontic-Caspian steppe who were not related to the actual Scythians, such as the Huns, Goths, Ostrogoths, Turkic peoples, Pannonian Avars, Slavs and Khazars. For example, Byzantine sources referred to Russian raiders attacking Constantinople in AD 860. in contemporary accounts as "Tauroscythians" because of their geographical origin, and despite their lack of ethnic relationship to the Scythians. The Scythians were part of the wider Scytho-Siberian world, which spanned the Eurasian steppes of Kazakhstan, the Russian steppes of the Siberian, Ural, Volga and southern regions, and eastern Ukraine. In a broader sense, the Scythians have also been used to denote all early Eurasian nomads, although the validity of such terminology is controversial, the Scythians, Saka and Cimmerians were closely related nomadic Iranian peoples, and the ancient Babylonians, the ancient Persians and the ancient Greeks used respectively the names "Cimmerian", "Saka" and "Scythian" for all the steppe nomads, The Mongoloid (Proto-Turkic) peoples in the Altai Mountains embraced Iranic Scythian culture (horsemanship, nomadic way of life, traditions, clothing) and mixed with the Scythians to form their own unique Iranic-Mongoloid confederation.

Are the Massagetae Dacians, and if they are why are they in Kazakhstan?

[@NihilIslands]

Massagetae are currently in Romanian Moldova+ -transnitristria goths,gethi( goezzi meaning naked in swiss, romanian), dacians celtic mixed, roxolanii tribe were cousins of dacians in alcohol diluting their genes to red hair( scots too). Khazars appear after asiatic mixed invasion of huns, scythians more european, but Sarmo-gethian mixed indo-aryan but monghol invasion added much with islamic influence of country names.

[@felipepereira214]

Something that bugs me and go beyond this video is how the turkic peoples superseded the iranian peoples in Central Asia. Maybe it's a good topic to explore since you're dealing with ancient steppe peoples.

[@AryaOghuz]

Yeah it’s really sad. Don’t get me wrong I love to study the Turkic peoples. But I wish we had more surviving information from the Saka, Massagetai, Wusun, Bactrians and Sogdians, etc. Even now we know next to nothing about their language beyond the fact that it was Iranian. I wish more survived about their history, their warfare/arms and armor, their religion/mythology. I wish we could learn about the individual smaller tribes and clans that made up the larger confederations that we do know of. It’s really a terrible blow to those who love to study the Eurasian steppe peoples

[@boringoldhistory]

@@AryaOghuz Unless we have writings from someone among them, we'll never get a clear picture of their culture, region or tribal structure. All that we have is our reconstruction of their history based on material remains and few descriptions from outsiders view.

[@AryaOghuz]

@@boringoldhistory That’s a terrible tragedy. I am hopeful that someday archaeologists will be able to safely go into Afghanistan and do excavations there, as I believe there are (most likely) many potential discoveries about or related to the Saka and Yuezhi that once lived there. There’s got to be something there. This is another question that you may not know the answer to, but is there any evidence that steppe Iranians ever practiced throat singing? It’s generally associated with Turkic and mongolic peoples, but I know many aspects of their culture were borrowed/influenced by the Iranians. Lots of videos online which discuss steppe Iranians seem to use this type of music in the background and I was wondering if it is simply anachronistic/culture confusion and generalization or if there is some truth to it? Thanks for replying

[@boringoldhistory]

@@AryaOghuz I honestly have no knowledge of throat singing. I have heard it in the show "Marco Polo" and so I always thought it was a Mongolian style of singing...

[@siavashamin951]

​@@AryaOghuzwe have more insight into the nomadic iranian stepped cultures by studying early persian culture before they took over Anshan as well as the Parthians. None of them have throat singing in their reportrar so we can assume that lesser cultures of iranian bransch wouldn't have that practise going on.

Antes were Slavs not Sarmatians.

[@teovu5557]

They were theorized to have been sarmatian since the name is Iranic. Antae/Ante with the sarmatians pluralization ending in Tae/Ae such as sarmatae,massagatae,antae. Modern day Ossetians names like Irontae,digorantae and alae.

[@teovu5557]

Antae means the marchers or border people as they were on the fringes of sarmatians borders.

[@Scion-cy6wj]

how did the Sarmatians turn the land into a desert? LOL! this video is needing some serious historical re-adjustment - the Sarmatians were not Mongols destroying Arab & Persian quanats - the Scythians had no such irrigation structures

[@Adil_Turysbek_TVRC]

Well, russians are slavs but carry the name of the ruses. French are gauls but carry the name of germanic franks. English are actually mainly britons but carry the name of germanic angles. The huns, bulgarians and on ogurs were Turkic but they were minorty. Slavs and thracians borrowed the ethnonym of their elite. It is easy to distinguish sarmatians and scythians as they had different haplotypes.
