Republic of Tuva, Russia

Sisse Brimberg

Horses cantering across a valley in southern Siberia evoke the mystery
of the ancient Scythian peoples who once lived here. One of
history&#039s earliest and mightiest horse-riding cultures, the
Scythians revered their mounts in life, death, and art.

 Most details of the Siberian Scythians&#039 everyday life remain a
mystery. Nomads and fierce warriors, they faded from the scene in the
second century B.C., and their culture entered the realm of legend and
artifact.
