    This is my favorite lecture on the Scythians and I've watched it several times. Nothing brings a culture to life better than an author-historian who loves his job and his subject

    Today's high school students don't realize that Dr. Cunliffe is typical of the teachers that we had in high school!!!!
    The teachers were prepared, organized, and capable of spinning a good story to get your attention!!!
    Thanks, Dr. Cunliffe!!!

    Thumb up for telling truth about Cyrus. I am going to subscribe to this guy even though he's not quit an eloquent speaker (I am sure Apostle Paul was worse) but appears to be an expert on Scythians unlike utuber Kings and Generals

    Great job! Scythians have fascinated me since the 1975 exhibition which toured USA.

    It's harder to hit a moving target. Mobility and agility are great offensive capabilities as well.

    Excellent information, Jatt community of Punjab are descendents of Scythians.

    Hungarians were first identifiably called Scythians by the Byzantine emperor Leo the Wise. From the Middle Ages to the present day we consider ourselves as such. Even today some of us know and use our Scythian symbols.
