Scythian mummy found in Mongolia - dates back 2,500 years

[hoplite14gr]

Sagaris (battle axe) was favored by Saka Tigrahauda (Saka with tall hats).
The pointed edge was fearsome. There helmet in the Olympia Meuseum that show clear markings of penetration of such a weapon.
The problem was tha only the first rank could engage so spearmen got the better of them.


As for tatoos. My wife after browsing several russian sites said that it is still a heated subject if they markings are curved tatoos or justbodypaint preserved because of the mumification. The argument that they were tatoos is stressed in tatoo parlor webpages and that makes it suspect in my opinion.
Kind regards.
