Презентация на тему First Inhabitants of Ukraine

Ukraine were Neolithic tribes in the Dnipro and Dniester

valleys.
The first organized society in the region were the Scythians, who had tamed horses and used this mobility to rule most of the region north of the Black Sea.

In The Beginning

“fought to live and lived to fight” and “drank

the blood of their enemies and used the scalps as napkins”. Ruled by small numbers of closely allied élites, Scythians had a reputation for their archers, and many gained employment as mercenaries. Scythian élites had kurgan tombs.
Scythians also had a reputation for the use of barbed and poisoned arrows of several types.

Warfare

animal sacrifices, in places also with suspected human sacrifices.
Large burial

mounds (some over 20 metres high), provide the most valuable archaeological remains associated with the Scythians.
