Russian invaders seized the City Museum of local lore of Melitopol, which stored Scythian gold. The location of historical relics was handed over to the enemy by local collaborators. This is stated in the message of the Zaporozhye regional military administration. The museum housed relics discovered by archaeologists in the 1950s.

"There is information that the Russian military has seized the Melitopol City Museum of local lore," Ilya said in a statement. The place where historical relics are kept was indicated to the enemy by local collaborators.

In addition, traditional looting for the invaders is gaining momentum in Melitopol, but on a new scale. Local residents at the beginning of the week noticed a column of Russian trucks, in which registration numbers were taped and which was accompanied by Special Vehicles. According to Melitopol residents, in these trucks the enemy took out "the remains of agricultural machinery and grain from the elevator"in the direction of the temporarily occupied Crimea.

Tens or maybe even hundreds of thousands of burial mounds in the Eurasian steppes are silent witnesses to the past. Nobody knows their exact number since more and more new kurgan sites are discovered every year.

The ancient Scythians were a semi-nomadic Proto-Indo-European Iranian-speaking people that lived around the northern area of the Black Sea. Their culture is thought to have lasted almost 1000 years, during which time they traded regularly with many Mediterranean and Asian cultures including the ancient Greeks, the ancient Persians and the ancient Chinese.

Burial mounds were constructed throughout the Eneolithic Period and the Bronze Age (4th to 3rd millennia BC) to the Early Middle Ages. Classical Scythians dominated the Pontic steppe from about the 7th century BC up until the 3rd century BC. However, most of the burial mounds that remain today could be dated to the first millennium BC or to the Early Iron Age.

A kurgan is a type of tumulus [ancient grave mound; a barrow] constructed over a grave, often characterized by containing a single human body along with grave vessels, weapons and horses.

The earliest kurgans date to the 4th millennium BC in the Caucasus, and researchers associate these with the Indo-Europeans. The Bronze Pre-Scythian-Saka-Sibirian culture developed in close similarity with the cultures of Yenisei, Altai, Kazakhstan, southern, and southeast Amur regions.

Some kurgans had facing or tiling. One tomb in UKRAINE has 29 large limestone slabs set on end in a circle underground. They were decorated with carved geometrical ornamentation of rhombuses, triangles, crosses, and on one slab, figures of people. Another example has an earthen kurgan under a wooden cone of thick logs topped by an ornamented cornice up to 2 m in height.

According to the results of magnetometry, ten anomalies were identified, supposedly associated with kurgans. Five of them were excavated in the field campaign of 2017.

ONE was connected with the ‘empty’ ring ditch of Scythian time, FOUR - with kurgan burials, under the mounds of which catacombs were unearthed.

The ditch was found around the largest kurgan, the rest of the burials had no ditches

Rus are the Scythians... and Magog.

The Scythians had a part in the ancestry of many of the people who live in those countries today-an important part of history-people who steal archeological treasures from graves, museums, etc to sell are the “real” barbarians-not the ancient people who owned the treasures...

[BenLurkin]

Much more worried about the invaders coming across the Rio Grande.

It’s 1492 all over again.

Thanks for another fine list of links, this time Scythians. Do you know what their relationship was to the Parthians, who engaged with the Roman general Crassus and thoroughly trounced him and killed him and his son. Were they a more recent tribe of the same bloodline, or something different?
