Oghuz Turks were probably genetically the closest to modern Turkmens from Turkmensitan

The Pashtuns have culturally absolutely nothing to do with Scythians. The status of women was very high in the Scythian society and also comparable with the high status of women in Turkic or Mongol societies. Scythians were famous in the antiquity for their warrior women and the women equality...

Wikipedia is not always a scientific source. There are many historians and scholars who say that the word "Scythian" was a collective term to describe different nomads who had a similar lifestyle including Turkic and Slavic ones. The assumed Iranic Scythians were culturally steppe nomads but...

Most Turkic peoples carry mainly the "Aryan" marker R1a which was also probably the marker of ancient Scythians. It's stupid to associate haplogroups with ethnicities or cultures but many Iranocentrists think that Haplogroup R1a only belongs to them Y-DNA haplogroups in Central and North Asian...

Then why do we have a Turkic group in Northeastern Russia today who call themselves SAKHA. Sakha language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Scythians in the Pontic-Caspian steppes were Eastern Iranic but the Scythians in Central Asia were definitely mixed with various Turkic peoples

I often read about the culture of ancient Turks, Scythians and Mongols and those people have/had the same steppe nomadic life style. You just need to read a book about the culture of ancient Scythians and compare it with the culture of nomadic Turks and Mongols. It's almost the same.

Scythians have probably mixed themselves with the Turkic peoples as the Turkic peoples today have actually the same culture like the formely Scythians . Nomadic Turkic peoples like Kazakhs or Kyrgyz wear those same pointed hats today like the Scythian have worn it. Steppe nomads like Scythians...

Of course the Turkic peoples in Central Asia a mainly a mixture between Scythians, Turkics and Mongols but I hope you know that haplogroups make only 1 % of your genes. Haplogroups only tell you from where your paternal/maternal ancestors came from 20.000 years ago. Autosomal DNA reveals your...

Tajiks don't speak an Eastern Iranian language and they're mainly the descendants of Sogdians anyway. Pashtuns don't seem to have a similar culture like ancient Scythians but nomadic Turkic peoples like Kazakhs and Kyrgyz have almost the same culture like Scythians. Scythians have never worn...

Were the Massagetae and other Scythians really fully Iranic? We have almost not language material about the ancient Scythians but Wikipedia portays it strangely as a fact that Scythians only spoke Eastern Iranian language. I really doubt that and I'm not a pan-Turanist. It can't be a coincidence...

I was actually very surprised when I read that the great Cyrus was defeated and killed by a women named Tomyris. Here are some information about the queen of the Massagetae Tomyris: Tomyris /ˈtoʊmɨrɪs/, from the Persian...

It's just because you said that we don't have genetically anything in common with other Turkics which is false. The Mongoloid admixture in Iranians is not really worth mentioning and the European admixture in African Americans is a result of slavery unlike Turks which was more a result of...

Turks themselves have 7-10 % Mongoloid admixture on average. It's a fairytale imagination that some "Mongoloid" looking nomads were able to to spread their language to dozens of Anatolians without mixing with them. Turkmens weren't fully Mongoloid when they conquered Anatolia, as Turkmens from...

They were still able to conquer your ancestors. It's hilarious how Persians failed completely against Mongols. I think I don't need to remind you that Merv, Samarkand and Buchara were once Persian cities

Thank you for proving your butthurtness over "Turko-Mongols". Turkic peoples have at least 6 indepented states while you Iranians have only Iran and and tiny Tajikistan which is surrounded by Turkic states and Turkic peoples. 15 % of the population of Tajikistan are Uzbeks anyway. Turks usually...

Not another racist Persian!:sick: What's so bad about being Mongoloid?

I don't really think that 40.000 Persians in the Netherlands are representative for all 60 million Persians in Iran. I have also noticed that Iranians are mainly secular in Europe and America but the reason for this is, that their ancestors fled because of the Mullah regime in Iran. Of course...

I've never said that I like Timur. He was too cruel in my eyes but also a genious strategist. I have mixed feelings for the Ottoman empire. Of course I'm somehow proud that we had such a large and important empire and the conquest of Constantinopel but I still favour REAL Turkic empires like the...

Timur is also a very controversial figure in history. Uzbeks consider him as their national hero while Persians and Indians curse him because of his brutal brutal military campaign against them Timur's armies were feared throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe, sizable parts of which were laid to...

I don't know their Autosomal DNA but they should also have Mongoloid admixture just like the Turks from Anatolia
