Add Armenian, Greek, and New Persian transliterations[edit]

(Old Persian: Sakā; New Persian: ساکا Saka; Greek: Σάκαι Sakai; Armenian: սկյութները Skyout'nerə; Latin: Sacae, Sanskrit: शक Śaka), and Sai (Chinese: 塞; Old Chinese: *sˤək), respectively.[8]

Gendered differences.[edit]

This Wikipedia page paints a very different view of Scythian gender relations than this article here: [1]. Does the 'gender roles' section need to be updated? 14.2.37.229 (talk) 14:11, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong citation in section Physical appearance[edit]

In the section Physical appearance it says that : "The fourth-century bishop Gregory of Nyssa wrote that the Scythians were fair skinned and blond haired". I looked at the original source but I could not find any reference for this claim in the text. Can this please be checked and, if nobody finds the reference, removed?

Role regarding women must be edited to reflect updated science[edit]

I will be making edits to this wiki to reflect the updated science regarding women in Scythian society. Anyone with a brain can do a mere google search and see National Geographic and world history encyclopedia tell a very different tale than this Wikipedia, let alone scientific research completed.

I plan on making it a sub-article for Scythian Women including a section on Scythian Warrior Women

if anyone would like to work on it with me, please reply.

For anyone who plans to vandalize edits made - understand that i will, as i have in the past, seek assistance from Wikipedia, who will hold you accountable for your efforts to discredit the veracity and faith that Wikipedia seeks to keep as a source of information. There is no question any longer - the science is clear. You have no argument in removing my updates, and you will be punished for not complying with Wikipedia terms.
I am saying this ahead of time - not as a threat... because its not a threat. I will simply do it, regardless.. so that you dont have to ask "who reported me?"...  i'm just forewarning everyone I am 100% a snitch who will run to daddy and tell on you.. so that you're not surprised if you decide to play games and find yourself getting in troubles. You can know, it was me. Hello. TheRightofHerWay (talk) 21:29, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Book: The Scythian Empire[edit]

C. Beckwith has a new book out (2023) would be great if somebody could update the article with any new information. Beckwith, Christopher I. (2023). The Scythian empire: Central Eurasia and the birth of the classical age from Persia to China. Princeton: Princeton University Press. ISBN 978-0-691-24053-4.
