If I remember my Classics right, the Persians, Greeks and even the Romans feared the Scythians.
Isn’t that where Jason and the Argonauts found the golden fleece?

The Scythians were famous for inventing a chariot with rotating scythes on their chariot wheels that could mow down solders in battle and wheat in peacetime. It was the first convertible car.

The team extracted and analysed mitochondrial DNA (inherited from the mother, it allows us to trace our ancestors) from the bones and teeth of 19 Pazyryk skeletons dating to the Bronze Age (7th to 10th century BCE) and from the Iron Age (2nd to 7th century BCE) from the Mongolian Altai Mountains. It's incredible the doors to our past that modern technology can open for us.

Yes, we are Scythians! Yes, we are Asians -
With slanted and greedy eyes!
