This is a temporary exhibit at The British Museum, organized by the State Hermitage Museum of St. Petersburg, Russia.

Scythians interest me for several reasons.

1.) Israelite tribe of Dan was integrated into ancient Scytho-Iranic tribes while Judeans were exiled in Babylon (see Jeremiah)
2.) Dan is one of the Lost Tribes and it is said that a remnant of the Lost Tribes will be gathered from Elamite/Iranic stock (see Isaiah)
3.) Scythians reached as far as Scotland, and the word Scot itself is a reference to Scyth origin
a.) It is said that Celts of Scots-Irish stock have a Scythian origin, while Celts of Welsh and continental stock have a Saxon origin

I am theorizing.
Feel free to comment.

On the maternal side Ossetians are the only ethnic group in the world descend from the Scythians, their proto-ancestors..

Only ethnoculturally. Genetically they are predominantly Caucasian natives carrying G2a y-DNA.

Not true, proven as a telltale a few months ago.

There are heavily mixed elements between Caucasus peoples and Scythians who came from the North East that's why it could make them more ethnoculturally close to each other..
linguistic

The primary sources for Scythian words remain the Scythian toponyms, tribal names, and numerous personal names in the ancient Greek texts and in the Greek inscriptions found in the Greek colonies on the Northern Black Sea Coast. These names suggest that the Scythian language had close similarities to modern Ossetian.

Some scholars believe that many toponyms and hydronyms of the Russian and Ukrainian steppe have Scythian links. For example, Vasmer associates the name of the river Don with an assumed/reconstructed unattested Scythian word *dānu "water, river", and with Avestan dānu-, Pashto dand and Ossetian don The river names Don, Donets, Dnieper, Danube, Dniester and lake Donuzlav (the deepest one in Crimea) may also belong with the same word-group.

I wouldn't mind to read a trustworthy source if it's possible at all..
