Regarding the last post and most importantly regarding the ARYANS and SCYTHIAN. There has been a substantial finding by many scholars, who classify Scythians as a sub-family of Aryans. As these S…

Who were the Sarmatians? Not only did they inspire Polish nobles to appropriate their identity over a thousand years later, but they were weed-smoking, skull-smashing feminists. The novelist Wojciech Zembaty explains what it was that made these nomadic barbarians so appealing to Polish polite society.
Ponownie Liban. Dwóch kolejnych milicjantów LFWP/OWP. Jeden uzbrojony w radziecki rkm Degitariewa, a drugi w nietypową dla konfliktu w Libanie broń - karabin Simonowa (SKS). Pomimo że stosunkowo rzadki jednak SKS był używany bojowo podczas wojny domowej w Libanie. O ile inne rodzaje broni były używane przez wszystkie frakcje, o tyle w SKSy (lub ich chińskie kopie) wyposażeni byli jedynie bojowcy OWP i związanych z nią milicji palestyńskich. Lebanon Again. Two PLO/PFLP militiamen - one armed with Degytarev RPD and the other with SKS Simonov rifle. Despite being relatively rare SKS rifle (or its Chinese copy) was used during Lebanese civil war. Contrary to other guns that were used by all fighting groups, SKS was used only by the PLO fighter and other Palestinian militias. Figurki to konwersja partyzantów Vietcongu z zestawu ESCI (będącego znakomitą bazą dla różnych konwersji). Według mnie figurki te, pomimo że starsze, o wiele lepiej niz zestawy Caesar'a odwzrodowują kształt i wielkość broni. Figures are conversions from ESCI Vietcong set (a great base for modern conversions). I think that despite being older for example weapon sizes and sculpt are much more realistic than in Caesar sets. Teraz tydzień urlopu i zabieram sie za kolejna drużynę, albo UAZa z działkiem bezodrzutowym lub KMem. Now one week of free time and I will start making another group or UAZ jeep with recoilless gun or MG.

W muzeum im. ks. St. Staszica w Hrubieszowie trwają przygotowania do wystawy "Srebrny koń - archeologiczne skarby między Morzem Czarnym a Kaukazem". Będzie to próba prezentacji dorobku polskich i niemieckich badań prowadzonych w XIX i na początku XX wieku na obszarach południowej Rosji i dzisiejszej Ukrainy. Wystawę oglądać będzie można od 29 kwietnia do 25 września. Serwis PAP - Nauka w Polsce jest jednym z patronów medialnych wydarzenia.

Centuries before the emergence of Huns and Mongolic groups, the Eurasian steppe was dominated by Scythians - an ancient Indo-European people.

Scytowie. Kultura fascynująca no i koczownicza. Wciąż w kręgu moich zainteresowań. Odważyłam się na próbę rekonstrukcji stroju i skromnego wyposażenia łucznika scytyjskiego. Piewrsze kroki nie są łatwe, tym bardziej, kiedy temat jest jeszcze niezbyt popularny wśród zacnego grona odtwórców. Od czegoś trzeba zacząć. W planach - kołczan, strzały, zimowe ciuszki na najbliższą wyprawę. Przyda się też trochę charakterystycznej biżuterii. Czapę wykonałam z filcu, reszta stroju z surówki wełnianej. Buty ze skóry bydlęcej. Wzorowałam się na wazach greckich i znaleziskach ozdób i okuć. Wciąż szukam i knuję, bo temat jest bardzo świeży i nowy w polskim rr. Trzymajcie kciuki :)
The Sarmatians were a confederation of warlike steppe nomads who flourished on the Pontic-Caspian steppe between the 5th century BC and the 4th century AD (the Pontic-Caspian steppe stretches from …

I spent hours this week perusing the web site of the Hermitage Museum, which is full of wonders. Among other things the famous treasures from the frozen tombs of the Altai are there, and now they have images up of many things I have never seen before. (Felt appliqué) The Altai is a desolate mountain region where Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China come together. In those mountains are certain high meadows where the ground is permanently frozen. Those meadows were sacred to nomadic tribes who traveled the nearby steppes, and between about 550 and 250 BCE they buried their royal families in the frozen soil. (Wagon) The tombs were all looted long ago and archaeologists found little gold in them. But the frozen soil preserved all manner of perishable items made of wood, leather, and cloth. Even some of the bodies were preserved, with their tattoos. So today I post more images of these wonders, emphasizing things I have not posted before. From these precious items we can form wonderful images of life among the nomadic people who used them. Modern nomads live in tents lined with carpets, and they dress in many layers of clothing against the harsh winters. Without those textiles, our reconstruction of the world of ancient nomads is naked; with the carpets and blankets of the Altai Tombs, we can clothe them again. Here are details of two saddle blankets from the tombs; the top one is felt, made in central Asia, while the bottom one is from Iran. The culture of these tombs is known as Pazyryk, after the first of these archaeological sites to be excavated. The Pzayryk were related to the Scythians of west Asia; the main difference is that while the Scythians were closely connected to Greek and Persian culture, the Pazyryk had trading ties with China. Wooden plaques from saddles and bridles. Famous felt rider from a carpet made in central Asia. A small shield (35 cm tall) made of wood and leather. Antlered mask for a horse, and a reconstruction of what this horse's finery would have looked like. More felt: a tiger with antlers, a swan, and a griffin. More saddle blankets. And the top of a staff. Here we see one of the great things about life in the modern age. Across the 2,000 years before archaeologists dug into these tombs, nobody on earth had seen these things, and their memory faded. But we can see them with the click of a mouse. For most of human history, most people experienced only a single cultural zone, or a handful. We have access to thousands, living and dead. For a curious person like me, it is a great reason to be alive now. Ornament showing an eagle and prey. More here, here and here.
