2. Scythian, Cimmerian and Sauromatian Origins (2/2) From Deer-stones in Mongolia to the Scythian empire and Sauromatians in Europe

Should mention that Mesoczat probably isnt connected to Cimmerians. Vekerzug maybe

@ndoichohnsdzil They lived there prior to Mongols Mongolia is a womb of nations like Scandinavia, pretty interesting paralells

@VVeltkrieger So we can say that the name Scythian is a umbrella term given to the people coming from Eastern and Western cultures. In fact, historical documents already claimed they were multi-lingual.

@NomadicEnjoyer Scythian or scythic is a umbrella term for multiple east iranic nomads with a common origin Included are the actual scythians, cimmerians, sauromatians, sarmatians, saka, messagetae, yancai, Alans, aorsi, agathyrsi, sigynnae, iazyges, and a bunch more I don't know from memory

@VVeltkrieger Deer stone culture itself is a ancient north East Asian culture isn’t it? I know it’s the culture that influenced Scythian but itself is not IE origin

@VVeltkrieger Wow, Scythians in Germany. Fascinating
