Synopsis

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Sarmatians and Scythians, then pay attention...Masters of the horse, the Scythians and Sarmatians opened the Eurasian Steppe to nomadic civilizations like it had never seen before. For the first time, a group of tribes sharing a common culture called the Steppe their home, adapting themselves to its harshness. Born out of this environment, a very particular way to live was adopted and later spread to peoples of Central Asia—the pastoral nomadic lifestyle. It would be the bane of organized armies of great empires, as the excellent mobility granted by their superior horse-riding skills were no match compared to the slow, organized infantry.The tale of the Scythians and Sarmatians have lasted through history, and although they had not one written historical record of their own, their presence was registered by dozens of classical historians. More importantly, though, their precious burial tombs still retained some of the civilizational remains of this extraordinary group of peoples.In Sarmatians and Scythians: A Captivating Guide to the Barbarians of Iranian Origins and How These Ancient Tribes Fought Against the Roman Empire, Goths, Huns, and Persians, you will discover topics such asOrigins of the Scythians and SarmatiansArt, Culture, and ReligionEconomy and SocietyWarfare and ConquestEnd of the Scythians and SarmatiansAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about Sarmatians and Scythians, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

Goodreads review by Iago on November 18, 2021

Compré este libro porque quería aprender sobre los escitas, pero me he quedado con las ganas, porque es un libro pequeño que además habla también de los sármatas. O sea, de los escitas es sólo medio libro, unas pocas decenas de páginas. Se habla poco de su religión, sus costumbres, su forma de vida........more

Didn't know the Scythians existed I heard of the name" Scythians " while reading the New Testament as I do from time to time and was always curious of who these groups of people were! So glad I read the book and were able to satisfy my curiosity a bit. Great read and I do recommend.......more

Very short, helpful for understanding the background of Central Asia. Unique culture for its time period in that women were commonly warriors.......more

A fairly limited history of Scythians, much deeper materials are easily available, but the Sarmatian topic was interesting as a taste opener.......more
