ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Scythia

Scythia was a place a long time ago, where people lived and did things differently than we do today. They didn't have phones or computers and they didn't wear clothes like we do now.

Back then, people in Scythia were really good at riding horses and shooting bows and arrows. They used these skills to hunt animals for food and to protect the land they lived on.

Scythia was also a very big area, with lots of different people living in different parts of it. They all had their own beliefs and ideas about how to live, and sometimes they didn't get along very well.

But even though they were different, people in Scythia were also connected by some things they had in common. They all spoke a similar language, for example, and they had a shared history of living in the same place for a long time.

Today, we don't really hear about Scythia anymore because it doesn't exist as a country or society. But we can still learn about it to understand how people lived in the past and how they worked together - or against each other - to create their own worlds.
