The Scythians are by no means the only nomadic horse-friding people to have inhabited the vast north Pontic steppes, but they represent the earliest known incursion from the east. They were followed, amongst others, by Sarmatians, Huns, Pechenegs, Hungarians and Polovci (Cumans-Kipchaks). And all of them are Turkish peoples....
Those peoples who chose the region north of the Black Sea as their permanent home, left countless burial mounds, called KURGANY.
* Kurgan=etymologie is Turkish, comes from Korugan=protect, protected
* The kurgan peoples were the first to tame the horse.
* Important kurgan is the Essik Kurgan (Issyk) in Kazakhstan - dated back to 5th c BC, they found the first written example of old Turkish inscription. Scythian Language= Turkish.
*The national drink of the Scythians was "koumiss" - fermented, mildly alcoholic mare's milk. The terms "hippemolgi" and "galactophagi" (horse-milkers and milk eaters) had already appeared in the works of classical writers and since we know of these from later periods as synonyms for Scythians the descriptions - in Homer's Iliad (13,1-7) for example- almost certainly refer to them. And only the Turks and Mongolians drink Koumis / Kımız : Etymology Turkish
According to Herodotus , the Scythians followed an interesting procedure when embalming their kings. The body was cut open, the innards removed and the cavity cleaned. This was then filled with aromatic spices and sewn up again. Finally the body was coated with wax.
The main prupose of such preservation methods was to maintain the body of the dead king in a reasonble condition for the ceremonial waggon journey to the various regions of his dominions and to demonstrate and make possible his uncorrupted bodily presence at the numerous feasts held in his honour.
There were 40 days between death and burial, even today is it important between the Turks. After 40 days the soul leaves the body, where it has been hovering, and departs for the land of the dead.
* 40 days newborn and mother will protected, 40 days later for the death preparing "Helva", 40 lights on Kyrgyzstan flag represents 40 Kyrgyz tribe, 40 girls in Dede Korkut and Manas Saga, 40 Saints in Christians Turks, Alevieten 4 doors 40 (chair), Oghuz Turks walks in 40 days. So 40 Days is Holly, only to be seen in Turkish culture, from Scythians, till today, and still goingon. Indo-Europeans don't have that culture, if they using it, they are realeted to the Turks, or lived for centuries with the Turks and accepted that culture...pdf
