>Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of (((Our Greatest Ally))) crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today.

How would this impact the way we view history?
William Ortiz
No. That's extremely retarded.
There's also two other threads discussing Scythians, why couldn't you put your dumb theories there?
Evan Ramirez
This is much like the "we came from Egypt to Spain to...." replaced the Tuatha De Denanna type deal.
Dunno. I read King Tut's modern relations are heavily prevalent in the British Isles but honestly, don't care and don't see the impact now.
Scholasticly interesting I suppose.

yes, the Scots descend from Scythe Lords
and dont forget about King Arthur of Scythia
influence on Arthurian legends
Scholars C. Scott Littleton and Ann C. Thomas posited that the legends of King Arthur and The Holy Grail derive from Sarmatian legends. The authors find parallels between the Sarmatian legend of Batradz, a Sarmatian king commanding his companions to throw his magical sword into a lake and Arthur's instructions to Sir Bedivere to throw his magical sword Excalibur into a lake. The authors also use historical records to demonstrate the presence of a 2nd-century AD colony of Sarmatian veterans at Bremetennacum, in modern Lancashire, as a historical source for the legends entering Britain.[46] A more extensive study of the Alano-Sarmatian impact on the Roman Empire and the Arthurian tradition is presented by C. Scott Littleton and Linda A. Malcor in From Scythia to Camelot

Stop wewuzing you island niggers, Scythians were Slavic.
Bentley Bailey
No. They were Scythians.
Camden Roberts
Why is this so incredible to you? We have no idea of what was going on in Europe outside of Greece and Rome before the Middle Ages.
There are Celtic colonies in Anatolia and Ukraine. Why is it so incredible to believe that Scythians traveled migrated to the British Isles at some point in history?
Cooper Perry
The Scythians also feature in some national origin-legends of the Celts. In the second paragraph of the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath, the élite of Scotland claim Scythia as a former homeland of the Scots. According to the 11th-century Lebor Gabála Érenn (The Book of the Taking of Ireland), the 14th-century Auraicept na n-Éces and other Irish folklore, the Irish originated in Scythia and were descendants of Fénius Farsaid, a Scythian prince who created the Ogham alphabet and who was one of the principal architects of the Gaelic language.

Ian Brown
The question was "Were the Scythians Scottish", not "Were the Scythians related to ancient Gaels". The Scythians, in fact, lived in Scythia, not Scotland. If the question is "Were the ancient Scythians related to the Gaels", the answer is almost certainly not in any meaningful way. Linguistically and culturally, the Gaels are related to, and developed alongside, the other Celtic peoples. So unless you mean to say that the ancient Scythians colonised and completely altered the cultures and languages of what is now France, Northern Italy, the British Isles and most of Iberia, along with numerous other areas on a smaller scale, while leaving behind people who were so totally different that they are not recogniseably related, you're dead wrong. It is possible that the descendants of people from Scythia immigrated to the British Isles in ancient times and were absorbed into the local culture, inspiring these myths, but the idea that they had any significant genetic or cultural impact is ludicrous.
Leo Diaz
Scots and Irish descend almost fully from the Central European Bell Beakers whose ancestors came from the Yamna culture of Ukraine/Russia but who adopted some cultural practices originating from Iberia. This culture was proto-Indo-European so not just ancestral to Slavs who didn't exist as a separate group back then. So yes a Scot is a Scyth but a very ancient one.
Ryan Clark
One provocative thought, Scythians was actually pronounced Skythians, with a k.
Scot, Skyt...? Really stimulates conjecture...
Elijah Adams
They were called Sakā in old Iranian/Sanskrit sources though. >Sakā >Sakson >Saxon woah...

Scythians were Ossetian.
David White
Ossetians are Alans
Ayden Clark
And Alans are who?..
Carson Price
>Ossetians are Alans What, all of them? Doesn't that get confusing?
Liam Turner
Alans are Scythians
Joseph Hall
Aryans who went to Japan for a while to chill and learn from Samurai.

That's like saying the British are Americans

saxons were german and have nothing to do with the original scots who were a gaelic celtic tribe from northern ireland. Even the germanic tribes who settled in scotland weren't saxon
Blake Morris
I'm pretty sure he's taking the piss out of .
Also >the original scots who were a gaelic celtic tribe The Picts weren't Gaels. Gaels only started moving into western Scotland during the same rough period the Romans left Britain and the Angles and Saxons started showing up.
Dominic Evans
Oh shit nevermind the second part I misread your post.
