I happened to catch this special on Television tonight. I found it fascinating. And when I saw the clips of this girl I was shocked. She is 9 years old and has hazel eyes and blond hair. The rest of her family has the typical asian characteristics of black hair and dark brown eyes.

I happened to catch this special on television tonight. I found it fascinating on so many levels. And when I saw the clips of this girl I was shocked. She is 9 years old and has hazel eyes and blond hair. The rest of her family has the typical Mongolian Asian characteristics of black hair and dark brown eyes. The fact that a two thousand year old European influence still shows up in a few Mongolian people today is beyond surprising. And of course the myth of Amazon warrior women which turns out to be not really a myth at all.

Yeah but does she have an invisible jet or a magical lasso?

Did she star in a cheesy 70s sitcom, by any chance?

[Tulsa Ramjet]

The mystique is gone.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Interesting. Are you familiar with the red headed mummies of China?

[Charles Henrickson]

Ancient Warrior Women Alert.

Wait a minute.

I understand how she got a DNA sample of a present day girl; however, I do not understand how she got a DNA sample from a 2,500 years ago, long imagined Amazon to match up with it.

But, it is late, and I just may be a little slow.

Or, there could be another ages old explanation: The gypsies left this girl where she is...

Many of the Kazakhs (Kazakhstan) have light brown hair and green eyes. I've never heard them called the descendants of the Amazons.

I have heard that the Amazons were supposed to have lived in the southern Russian region now known as "the Kuban." Also, the golden fleece was said to be from what is now the republic of Georgia.

Yep. You can just tell by looking at her that she's a warrior .

[Khurkris]

I swear...I was not in Western Mongolia 10 years ago...really.

[Paul_Denton]

It is quite fascinating. It is said the Scythians and Sarmatians descended from them.

The ancient Celts had a long history of Women Warriors. Accounts from both the Greeks and Romans mention that if the battle were going against the Celts women would take up arms and fight more ferociously than the men – shaming them into greater deeds of valor. Women were also famous as combat instructors – as the woman (Scathach) who taught Cu Chulainn, and of course Queen Boudicca.
