Slavs are Scythians

[Pahli]

Its very comedic that people think just because they had blonde hair and blue eyes they must be slavic or germanic. Many people in North Caucasus have those features from Ramzan Kadyrov to Anzor Boltukayev.

You can find blondes from Europe to Afghanistan lol

If the Scythians (who spoke Iranic language) and Balto-Slavs (who spoke totally different branch) arein your eyes the same ethnicity, then is ok. It is not important what Herodotus said now, it is important what they really were.

They were not totaly different branches wether you like it or not
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centum...atem_languages

The satem languages belong to the "eastern" sub-families, especially Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic (but not Tocharian).

How do you even know that all Scythians spoke one and the same language and that it was Iranic?


As i said Scythians was a collective term for Indo European tribes in the North this included European people as for
example the Ancient Balto Slavs you were talking about as well as Non European people such as Saka Scythians in Asia

Of course the North Caucasians were also a Scythian group

Herodotus is important as it seems because you don't understand what i mean with Balto Slavs being a Scythian people though if you
would mind reading once in your live what he said you would.

Why are people in TA so headstrong?

You get the point

Neither you nor the Slavic guy Valtko understand what i'm saying.

If someone of you would realy care and read a ancient Greek source about Scythian tribes all this confusion would vanish

Do you understand that Greeks called Scythians both your people and the Proto Slavic people Vlatko was talking about as well?

There were many different Scythians tribes also with different physical appearences

Some of them were in Europe others were not European

They were diverse

What i'm pointing at is that the ancestors of modern Slavs and Balts were a part of these tribal groups known to Greeks as Scythians not that they were
the same with all other tribes called Scythians such as North Caucasians or Saka in Asia

I get where your coming from, but attributing my heritage to russians is cultural misappropriation.

Your heritage is not attributed to Russians unless you have a misconception about what i mean with Scythians .

As i said reading Ancient Greek writers on Scythians would help you clear this misconception.

[Vlatko Vukovic]

this is a false story.
we do not know where the Slavs began.

What is false story?

[Vlatko Vukovic]

But there were no ancient Slavs


So Slavs must have ancestry from some other ancient people older than them and this people must have been Indo European

You need to understand that Roman and Byzantine sources aren't accurate. For them, the Slavs were the same as Scythians, and Europe according to them was divided into Magna Germania and Scythia. Slavic ethnogenesis happened inside of Scythia and i don't need (with all respect) opinion of Byzantine sources about them, since we now have archaeology and linguistics.

The name "Serb" is from Sarmatian origin most-likely, but the modern Serbs are far from them.
