I'm researching the myths (history) of the Amazons. They laid a trail that stretches from Tunisia to the Altai mts., or vice versa. Can anyone help me with regard to stories and legends rooted in southern Siberia that may relate to the Amazons.
Many thanks

Thanks for the links, but I've been researching the Amazons for a long time and I'm just looking for specific folk-lore from the Altai - if it exists.  |

There is evidence that, as early as the 6th century BC, another Mesopotamian group, the Sarmatians, appeared in this Black Sea region, also known as Colchis. Herodotus reported that they were the offspring of the Scythians and Amazon women. Legend suggests that the Amazons came ashore at the Sea of Azov, after escaping from their Greek captures. There is no proof that they originated in Egypt, however, there is evidence that African communities did exist in this region.
