Scythians: Warriors of Ancient Siberia
THIS EVENT ENDED ON THE 14TH JANUARY 2018
Nearby

Exceptional horsemen and warriors, the Scythians were powerful nomadic tribes of Siberia and this autumn the British Museum reveals their ancient culture preserved in permafrost for thousands of years. Through 200 objects dated between 900 and 200 BC, including exciting archaeological discoveries from burial mounds in the high Altai mountains, the exhibition tells the story of these feared adversaries and neighbours of the ancient Greeks, Assyrians and Persians. Marvel at the multi-coloured textiles, fur-lined garments, fearsome weapons, horse headgear and tattooed human remains, perfectly preserved in frozen tombs.
About British Museum
If you wanted to thoroughly explore the British Museum, it would take months, if not years. Over seven millions objects from all over the world are housed in this impressive museum of human history and culture (many of the artefacts are stored underneath the museum due to lack of space).
