Thanks blam. FWIW, other possibilities are the Cimmerians, who destroyed Gordion in the 7th century BC (Phrygia was reportedly attacked by the Amazons; the Cimmerians were wiped out shortly thereafter by the Scythians and everyone already in the area), and the "Hittites", who wore skirts (or kilts, if you will). In an ancient bas relief of "Amazons", it appears to be skirted warriors wearing "Hittite" style helmets.

Every time I hear the word "Hittites," I think of Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver reading Tobin's Spirit Guide in Ghostbusters.
