I have found a few videos on the Ice Maiden. It is an archaeological discovery in Eurasia. I think it is the Altai region. It is kind of a follow up on the Amazons interest I have. Tribes from the steppes, like the Scythinas, the Sarmatians, etc..., seems to had an interesting lives.
This ones are a series of videos. It explain well the tribes of the steppes:

For me, it gives a more visual side to the book I am currently reading (https://www.amazon.ca/Amazons-Legends-Warrior-across-Ancient/dp/0691147205/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1513701101&sr=1-1&keywords=amazon). There are other videos on that subject. I have not looked at them yet but I will.
Learning about that is inspiring. Would be fun to learn that in school. I know it is far away. It is a place lost in the steppes. But it is part of world history. We do not really hear about nomads. It should be talk about more, be it in the steppes or plains, be it in Eaurasia or in the Americas. A big part of our history had been in the nomadic way of life.
I am inspired. I would like to write something related to these nomads. It will be fiction, of course. I think I will have to think more about it. I am nost sure I will be able to stick with the discovery. I never tried something like that but I would like to try. If I am not satisfied, I will turn it into an Amazons story, purely fictional.
