[MC]Ronin[MC] Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 The body is of a 20-year-old woman who fought with the Scythians During excavations in the mountainous regions of Armenia, archeologists find the grave of a wounded woman who died during the Iron Age. The girl is only 20 years old, muscular, has mastered archery and has fought heroically against the Scythians. In a detailed analysis, scientists conclude that the woman fully complies with ancient Greek descriptions of the Amazons. In the period VI-IX century BC, the state of Uratru was situated on the territory of present-day Armenia. Its inhabitants have borrowed the inventions and achievements of its neighbors, having contacted many countries from the Mediterranean to India. Uratru was a frequent target of attack by the Scythians, but had a well-trained army that repelled the invasions - the army of female warriors. According to archaeological excavations, female warriors were commonplace and usually good at archery. The skeleton discovered by Armenian scientists is of a woman of high property and social status. Initially, archaeologists concluded that the woman was an aristocrat because of the expensive jewelry she was buried with. However, a detailed study showed that it was a female warrior. It corresponds very accurately to the descriptions of ancient Greek mythology about the Amazons. Her upper half is muscular. The pectoral and deltoid muscles are particularly developed and her thighs are highly developed. Several traces of wounds were found on the skeleton, indicating that she had fought successfully for more than a year. Her last battle with the Scythians ended tragically. They wound her in both hips with one strike from a sword and the other from an ax. However, the battle was won by the Amazons. This is understood from the grave of a woman who is buried with honors and all her ornaments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
