It was long assumed that Amazons, the fierce and fearsome women warriors of Greece, were imaginary. But curiously enough, stories from ancient Egypt, Persia, the Middle East, Central Asia, India and China also featured Amazon-like warrior women. And Amazons were described in ancient historical accounts, not just myths. Who were the real women warriors known as Amazons? Adrienne Mayor investigates. Lesson by Adrienne Mayor

Well scythians or sakas were from 20. 000 to 70. 000 not 2000 bc that's wrong, and they were Iranian nomadic tribes which are father of all Europeans possibly Chinese too, their history clearly shows they also colonised Egypt in 10. 000 bc ( at least) but this all shows men and women are equal

Female mounted archers could NOT be as effective as their male counterparts. Men have much greater upper and lower body strength and conditioning allowing them to draw more powerful bows and stay in the saddle for longer.
reply

Another potential link between Scythians and Amazons can be found in nomenclature: Hippo is the Greek word for horse, and names such Hippolyta - the legendary Amazon queen - share this root.

shout out to Andromache the Scythian who I now understand is an Amazon. Anyway Charlize Theron rocks and so does this Ted-Ed video.
