| In the third century B.C., Scythians were displaced by Sarmatians, who in turn were overrun by waves of Germanic Goths. |
| The Scythians doing this howled with joy, according to the Father of History. |
| It appears possible that eventually the Tocharians may be classified with the eastern Scythians. |
| To the east of the Scythians there lived another horse people, the Sarmatians. |
| The first and most effective race to use the horse in battle was the Scythians. |
| Throughout history the peninsula has been colonised by Scythians, Greeks, Romans, Khazars, Genoese and Venetians. |
