Another must-see collection September 3, 2001
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
What I know of the Scythians is limited to what Herodotus wrote, and an article in the Sep 96 issue of National Geographic which described at length the archaeological efforts in the Ukraine and the depradations by grave looters. I was very happy then to see the magnificient collection featured in this book. The essays, though simple, have helped me understand more about this ancient race and since I missed out on the exhibition, I have another destination now for my holidays (provided I find the money first of course).

Ms Reeder compiled a terrific presentation of the Scythian treasures found in the present day Ukraine; some of the Scythian artificats were taken to Moscow ( stolen) prior to the Ukrainian independence in 1991.Excellent book for graduation gifts.
A well-researched compendium, and a pretty picture-book November 15, 1999
9 out of 13 found this review helpful
Well-researched, with excellent photography, this book sheds light on the mysterious Scythians, their relationships with other peoples (most notably the Greeks), their culture and their ostenatious, gilded artefacts (1500 years before Versace).
excellently researched texts and exquisite new Scythian art October 18, 1999

- great selection of texts on various aspects of Scythian art and life- properly transliterated terminology and toponyms (i.e. Libraty of Congress transliteration of local names directly transliterated, not through an intermediary language)- most enjoyable book (read it twice!)--- can't wait to see the exhibit
