Were the Scythians white?

[Illyrius]

Opinions, facts?

[Bosniensis]

We are Scythians (Slavs) so yes.

[Blondie]

Yes before the turkics have conquered and mongrelized them.

[pulstar]

Opinions, facts?

Green, they were green with big black eyes.

[Illyrius]

Yes before the turkics have conquered and mongrelized them.

*Cries in R1a Z93

[Kyp]

Yes EHG+CHG mostly

[Smeagol]

Scythians were not a unified people. The ones in the west were probably mostly white, while going east there would have been an increase of Mongoloid admixture.

[Illyrius]

yes they are white. and first victims of Turks.

I feel so sorry for them.

[Token]

Scythians were very heterogeneous, but early Scythians and Sarmatians from the Pontic-Caspian steppe were bizarrely Indo-European.

[samario]

Very, they were blonde, tall and had fierce eyes.

[Bred]

Yes EHG+CHG mostly

isnt that just means steppe yamnaya ?
