Hi Alanus, David Christian in his book "A History of Russia, Central Asia and Mongolia" alludes to the fact that without his papers and drawings has made a few mistakes in regards to that particular Wall Drawing as Rostovtzeff says that the riders on the right are Scythian yet the quote I pasted on the other thread he states that Scythians didn't wear conical helmets like Sarmatians. Still considering his circumstances in regard to his home country there are bound to be a few mistakes. But he seems to know most of his stuff and to think the book was published in 1922 from memory without being able to check he did a pretty good job. There must have been a few grave finds since 1922.
