The Scythians: Fierce warriors of Siberia and the Steppe (Drop 1 of 2)

I've been meaning to do a drop on these guys, for absolutely ages and for some reason, never got around to doing it?
If it wasn't for @socratesgadfly on the chat page, reminding me about it the other day, I'd likely still have never got round to it, so blame her! Lol
Anyway, here's a few papers and books, on everything from the history, art and mythology, of this fascinating and fiercely violent warrior culture, who were so renowned and feared, for their fighting and tactical skill in war, that even Paul mentioned them in his Gospel in the Bible.
Recently, a grave of Scythian warrior Kings was found in Siberia, with viable genetic material once again and fueled more rumours of Putin wanting to clone them, for use in the Russian military.
Will be the subject of an E. W. A. T video, in the very near future.

The 2nd and final part to this drop on the Scythians, with this drop focusing mostly on their history and culture, through the eyes of figures such as Heroditus and Asclepyus, at a time when the Scythians were still very much a real and living fear, in the minds of those who encountered them!
