ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Scytho-Siberian world

Imagine a big land far away from where we live, where people lived a long time ago. This land is called Scytho-Siberia. It's like a big island, surrounded by big mountains, a lot of forests, and some rivers. People who lived here had to be very strong and brave because they had to fight against animals and other people sometimes.

The people who lived in Scytho-Siberia were called Scythians, and they were very good at riding horses and using bows and arrows to hunt animals for food. They also had special tools to make clothes and to build their houses. They even had their own language, like we have English or Spanish.

These people loved to decorate their clothes with beautiful patterns, and they also made amazing jewelry with gold and different kinds of stones. They were really good at trading their jewelry with other cultures too.

Even though there were a lot of different groups of people in Scytho-Siberia, they all had some things in common, like their religion. They believed in nature and worshiped different gods and goddesses related to it. They even used cannabis, a special plant, in their religious ceremonies!

Nowadays, we can learn a lot about Scythians and their way of life by looking at the things they left behind, like their weapons, clothes, and even their tombs. So, even though they lived a long time ago, we can still learn from them and be amazed by their culture and way of living.
