Tomyris was the queen of the Massagetae, an Iranian people from a Scythian pastoral-nomadic confederation of Central Asia east of the Caspian Sea, in parts of modern-day Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, western Uzbekistan, and southern Kazakhstan. She reigned in the 6th century BC.
Tomyris led her armies to defend against an attack by Cyrus the Great of the Achaemenid Empire, and, according to Herodotus, defeated and killed him in 530 BC.

Herodotus also mentioned that he heard other stories too but wrote the one that he liked the most You know since the ending was like the ending of one of those mythical Greek stories (greed and arrogance leading great humans to their demise) and since Herodotus was a Greek, this story most probably is just a myth Other historians never even mentioned Tomyris or her tribe While Tomyris story might be the most famous one, that doesn't mean that it's the most accurate one The most accurate story, about his death is most probably the one that Ctesias wrote Ctesias had lots of mistakes while writing about Cyrus life but his record of Cyrus death seems way more logical According to him, Cyrus fought the Derbices and won but died three days later because he was wounded in the middle of the battle and that's enough time for his men to reach Pasargadae without his corpse rotting since Derbices territories were in the north of modern day Iran and way closer than Central Asia and unlike Massagetaes, who lived in seperate tribes (like Greek city states), they lived in a region and had way more manpower than Scythians and even had allies with war elephants from india Meaning, they had enough manpower to fight an army of 80,000-100,000 specially when living in modern day north of Iran (where i live) which gives them the terrain advantage The only advantage the Massagetaes had was a river which according to Herodotus, they let Cyrus army cross it And they had no city walls, no fortresses, no trenches and not even enough manpower How many people lived in ONE nomadic tribe ? 3,000 ? 4,000 ? Let's say 5,000-10,000 How many of them could fight ? While the Achaemenids are known for their large armies which are estimated between 50,000 to 200,000 They were professional fighters armed with almost any weapon imaginable at the time and were familiar with nomadic fighting styles and battle tactics and were being led by the greatest warlord at the time who won every battle he fought against mighty empires The terrain here in the north is great for a local army to defend against a superior invading army Plus, Ctesias worked at Artaxerxes II royal court and that means he had access to the Achaemenid sources He even mentioned the number of casualties of both sides and the number of Cyrus reinforcements Take a look at Cyrus conquest map on Google Massagetae territory is shown as conquered and there was even a city fortress called Cyropolis near there There's not even an evidence for Tomyris existence beside Herodotus few sentences

The film received mixed reviews, largely because Herodotus's version of events is not generally accepted by historians and researchers,[14] and unlike in the film, Massagetae are Scythian people speaking an Iranian language, while in the movie all characters are represented by modern Kazakh (featuring Mongolian physiognomy and speaking a Turkic language).

[@CruWiT]

Even Persian historic record they states that the Scythians are not Iranian. Persian record say for sythians "a warlike and dangerous people who come from far away, whose words cannot be understood, who ride well on horseback and use bows." They said that it is not clear what language they speak, What language do you think this could be? In addition, in the shahname of the Iranian writer Firdevsi, the people who live in the region where the Scythians live are called the "Turan", The Scythian people are called "Turanids". He tells about the Iran-Turan wars. Even the Iranians themselves do not see the Scythians as Iranian, but westernism tries to portray the Scythians as Iranian.

[@IranLur]

@@CruWiT Turan is a mythological term used by Ferdowsi in the shahnameh and has nothing to do with historical fact. Today's Ossetian population in the Republic of Georgia are the descendant of the Western Scythians. They speak an Iranic language distantly related to Persian. Eastern Scythians whose descendants are the Pamiri population of Xinjiang and Tajikistan were known as the Saka in Ancient Persian inscriptions. Saka peoples were a nomadic warrior group who established a kingdom in Western China called the Khotan Kingdom. They were described in the reliefs as wearing pointed long hats much like their Western Scythian brethren. From this Kingdom they wrote over 2,000 inscriptions.These inscriptions were recently deciphered in 1940s by Linguistic Expert H.W. Bailey who later published his works on the Saka Dictionary through the Cambridge University Press in 1979. He described his findings as a key to understanding the origins and history of the Iranic languages. I have the dictionary and have verified it is a pure Iranic language.

[@serbestplatform23]

The Scythians were a nomadic confederation, composed of various tribes and nomadic confederations weren’t defined by ethnicity, but by identity and language. It is a fact that the Pre-Turkic population of Central Asia was primarily Indo-Iranian speaking but this does not exclude varying degrees of admixture with Uralic/Samoyedic and Turkic peoples. The Scythians had affinity to Indo-European (Indo-Iranian), Turkic, and Uralic groups. They were not a homogeneous people.

[@ФАРАДЖКаюмов-и6т]

​@@CruWiTNo, according to Ferdowsi's Shahname Salm, Iraj and Tur were sons of one father....And Turanians who originated from Tur, was a general term for iranic, nomadic people like Scythians, Sakas, Alans, etc.. Another term was just Saka. There is also was Sakastan province in Sasanid Empire, where Sakas lived. There is also Sakazay (sak-born) people among Pushtuns living....So do not try to steal other's history.

[@CruWiT]

@@ФАРАДЖКаюмов-и6т In Russia, there is a region of Yakutia, where saka's peoples live. Guess what language they speak? yes they speak Turkic. Today, the only nation in the world that bears the name of the Saka (Scythians) are the Saka Turks and they live in the northern Siberia region. Do you think these people who live in the northern regions of Siberia and speak Turkic but they are Iranic for you? See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakha en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakut_language

Ali Sami Shirazi, an archaeologist who excavated the tomb of Cyrus, discovered two bodies buried in the ceiling of the tomb He identified those two bodies as Cyrus and his wife So if Tomyris story is true, which it seems it's not, that body shouldn't be there since there's said his body was taken by her warriors and beheaded Alexander's historians mentioned that they saw Cyrus body in his tomb but never said anything about his skeleton missing a head Ctesias version of his death is more close to reality

[@QueenBoran]

There are 2 versions of tomyris’s story,one says that cyrus was killed and got his head chopped off by tomyris,the other one says that he died from the wounds he got from the battle so his body was never captured by the Scythians,it can either be the second version or tomyris never existed at all

Scythian were Iranic people and spoke an Eastern Iranic language just like Persians. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythian_languages This shit is portraying them like they were some sort of Mongloid-looking savages. Both Persians and Scythian were Iranic. They probably could have understood each other to a certain point and they certainly did not look like this. And also Persians didn't look like a bunch of Jews either. There got to be an end to these stupid movies playing fast and loose with historical accuracy.

I think Turks believe Scythians as Turkick because during the Turkick migration in 5th century many Scythian- Sarmatians assimilated in to the Turkick confederations. But You can't say Scythians as Turks. It's fair to say Turks have some Scythian Ancestry. Scythians were North Eastern Iranians. Ossetians & Pamiris are the real descendants of the Scythians.

This why there is Bihar in Hungary and there is Bihar in India for example or this why Jász people when converted by Romanian where renamed to iasi but generally have retained a connection to Lasi people in India …in cultural,identity etc. It’s like Italian researcher Michelangelo Naddeo whom traced his origins back to Hungarians and then expanded his research and came to a conclusion that Hungarian related groups still exist in Hindu-Kush and other areas was often branded as somehow “Gypsie” by Italians or other pro Mediterranean Indo-Evropean theory supporter while actually having a local and actually local genetics just as Hungarians since Mediterraneans doesn’t like to reminded that they where influenced in cultural,genetics…and other way by Hungarian-Scythians which is the reason why they have a version of Aryan religion hence they pray as Buddhist or have a Buddhist meditation tool called rosary.

Massagetae was subjugated by Darius I, according the conquest map. In the Steppe tribes, usually 1 out of 5 was combat ready unit (1 out of 3 as well if necessary). Derbixes were another Scythian tribe. Massagetae lived in a mawerannahr which although small in size, nowadays has around 40 million population (half of Iran). If they had 100 000 population they could mobilize up to 33 thousand troops. About the size Alexander used to conquer whole persian empire which was much bigger at the time of Darius IV, than during the years of Cyrus. Plus we know about battles when Steppe Nomads defeated enemies much more numerous. Tumu (20k vs 500k) Oirats under Esen vs Ming. Baideng, Huns under Modu Darkhan vs Han (20-40k vs 320k). Yehuling, Mongols under Genghis Khan vs Jin (90k vs 400k) and so on. So Cyrus was no big deal compared to East Asian Emperors might.

The descendants of the Scythians belong to the native speakers of the Türkic languages (translated from Russian) “Scientists from the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberia Branch of the Academy of Sciences (Russia), together with colleagues from Germany, the USA and France, conducted the largest genetic study of carriers of the Scythian culture from all over Eurasia in order to understand the demographic foundations of the history of the Scythians. It turned out that the Scythians from different ends of the Eurasian steppe are closer to each other than to other peoples, and their descendants belong to the speakers of the Turkic languages. The research results are presented in the journal Nature Communications.” Scientists worked with genome-wide data on eight individuals and mitochondrial DNA of 96 people who lived in the first millennium BC in the Eurasian steppe, from the Black Sea region to Altai. It turned out that behind the unity of the Scythian culture of the Iron Age, traced by archaeological discoveries, lies a genetic unity. Despite the fact that the Scythians of eastern and western Eurasia originally belonged to different peoples, over time, the flow of genes, going in both directions, led to the unification of this people throughout the steppe. As for the origin of the Scythians, the researchers distinguish two main components: the peoples of the Yamnaya culture (Eurasian nomads of the Bronze Age) and the peoples of East Asia (northern Siberia). As for the descendants of the Scythians, genetically closest to them are modern populations living near the Scythian burials excavated by archaeologists - which indicates some continuity between population groups. The descendants of the Western Scythians can be found among the various peoples of the Caucasus and Central Asia, and the eastern ones - only among the Turkic-speaking peoples (the Kypchak language group). The last link requires a separate study: it is usually believed that the expansion of the Turkic languages in Eurasia began much later, from the 6th century AD. The influence of the Scythians on the ethnogenesis of the Turkic peoples can be clarified in the framework of future genetic studies.

​@@uisun_ It's strange the greatest history channel managed by Turks on KZbin, which makes videos based on accurate and reliable books and sources, keeps calling Scythians Iranian It's strange when you search the name of every Scythian tribe in English their origins is written Iranian Here are some examples i copy pasted some The Massagetae or Massageteans, also known as Sakā tigraxaudā (Old Persian: 𐎿𐎣𐎠 𐏐 𐎫𐎡𐎥𐎼𐎧𐎢𐎭𐎠, romanized: Sakā tigraxaudā, lit. 'Saka who wear pointed caps')[1] or Orthocorybantians (Ancient Greek: Ορθοκορυβαντες, romanized: Orthokorubantes, lit. 'wearer of pointed caps'; Latin: Orthocorybantes),[2][3][4] were an ancient Eastern Iranian Saka people[5][6][7][8][9][10] who inhabited the steppes of Central Asia and were part of the wider Scythian cultures.[11] The Alans (Latin: Alani) were an ancient and medieval Iranian nomadic pastoral people of the North Caucasus[1][2][3][4][5] - generally regarded as part of the Sarmatians, and possibly related to the Massagetae.[6] The Sarmatians (/sɑːrˈmeɪʃiənz/; Ancient Greek: Σαρμάται, romanized: Sarmatai; Latin: Sarmatae [ˈsarmatae̯]) were a large confederation of ancient Eastern Iranian equestrian nomadic peoples of classical antiquity who dominated the Pontic steppe from about the 3rd century BC to the 4th century AD. The Parni (/ˈpɑːrnaɪ/; Ancient Greek: Πάρνοι, Parnoi) or Aparni (/əˈpɑːrnaɪ/; Ἄπαρνοι, Aparnoi) were an East Iranian people[1][2] who lived around the Ochus[3][2][4] (Ancient Greek: Ὧχος Okhos) (Tejen) River, southeast of the Caspian Sea. It is believed that their original homeland may have been southern Russia from where they emigrated with other Scythian tribes.[2] The Parni were one of the three tribes of the Dahae confederacy. The Dahae, also known as the Daae, Dahas or Dahaeans (Old Persian: 𐎭𐏃𐎠 Dahā; Ancient Greek: Δάοι Dáoi, Δάαι Dáai, Δαι Dai, Δάσαι Dasai; Latin: Dahae; Chinese: 大益 Dayi;[1] Persian: داه‍ان Dāhān) were an ancient Eastern Iranian nomadic tribal confederation, who inhabited the steppes of Central Asia.[2] The Cimmerians were an ancient Eastern Iranian equestrian nomadic people originating in the Caspian steppe, part of whom subsequently migrated into West Asia

The real heroic women are the Steppe Women like Tomiris, Zarina, Hua Mulan, Ketebike, Turandot or Khutulun. We are proud of our Steppe Women, the real Amazons.

So this means Amazons did exist?

[@artinrahideh1229]

No they didn't as far as our knowledge goes. But the Sarmatian women fought in their armies alongside men in considerable numbers. They might have been the basis for that myth

Scythians weren't Afghans Some Scythian tribes might've been the ancestors of Afghans but they weren't all Afghan Darius was successful in his Scythian campaign and Cyrus successfuly conquered Afghanistan Look at Cyrus the great conquest map All of middle east (except arabian peninsula and Egypt), Caucasus, Asia minor, Iran and a large part of Central Asia up to the Aral lake/sea, were conquered by him If you Google the results of the Scythian campaign of Darius the great, it says that this campaign was a victory for the Achaemenids instead of defeat or stalemate It also says that the Achaemenids conquered much of their cultivated lands and damaged their allies, forcing the Scythians to respect their power In most of Achaemenid empire maps, the lands above the black sea are part of the Achaemenid empire Also in Achaemenid inscriptions, the Scythians are shown as subjugated people and part of the empire

Indo-european is a language group, it is not a race group, language can spread by trade, slaveries. Why iranians are imagining they are related to europeans, scythians, slavs, or aryans. Those are all non scientific, if you look at history iranians/persians have not a small connection with white people. Look at iranians dark skinned middle eastern arabic people. Slavs are white skinned european people from different land marks, in between them there are turks. If you want to imagine keep on saying children stories, say nigerians are related to vikings, or say germans are related to japan 😂😂😂😂😂

Tomyris is one of the most accepted lies of Herodotus and abused by Feminists, Turks and etc. Even though Herodotus himself admits that he chose this "story" to write instead of others because of how dramatic it was, people consider it as the most reliable account and don't even bother to question it. How could have Cyrus the great have a tomb in Persia if his army was annihilated and he himself beheaded?! Why doesn't his son Cambyses II avenge his father's death but conquers egypt? The Massagetae are amoung the subjects of the Achaemenid empire yet Herodotus doesn't talk about who conquers them. We have various other sources talking about the death of Cyrus the great such as Ctesias and Xenophon too for Christ's sake!
