Hi all
Do you think the Scythians originated in South Asia? Many people say that the Scythians were people with blue eyes and blond hair. However, where does the Indo-Iranian language come from? Were the Scythians 0% South Asian?
I ask this because MyTrueAncestry considers me a scyth. Specifically 1.38% Sarmatian + 8.92% Scythian, which would result in approximately 10.3% Iranian Medieval.
I come from the area called Scythia Minor, very close to Scythia. So, maybe i'm 10.3% Scythian.
But now I'm curious if these people were mixed with the people of South Asia.
Although people say that the Scythians did not come from South Asia, coincidentally, Gedmatch (HarappaWorld) tells me that i'm 8.04 Balochi + 1.04 S-Indian. The result is 9.08% Indo-Iranian.
Coincidence can't be applied here, but Gedmatch (Gedrosia K12) transfers some of my Balochi to S_Indian and Indo-Tibetan. Specifically: 5.14% Balochi + 1.8% S_Indian + 0.97% Indo_Tibetan. This results in approximately 7.91% Indo-Iranian.
Of course, the percentages in Harappaworld are much more coincidental. But if the Scythians weren't originally from those parts of South Asia, shouldn't I have received 0%? Why do I get a coincidence?
