And we also have evidence of the Halstatt culture, which is sort of proto-Celtic, which we associate with slightly further west. You preempted my question there because you mentioned before.

Yeah, absolutely. And if you wanted to bring it back to the Greek perspective on all this, so we're talking about, this is fascinating, this is interesting, what's actually going on here? Nomads with static fortifications, what's happening? Herodotus had the same problem. So he had the same question, which is how can there be this massive city up in the north somewhere with nomads?

So in his own explanation for it, he basically describes a wooden city that looks remarkably like a Greek one. He even describes Greek temples and pillars and things like this being built out of wood. And his explanation is, well, it's not possible that the Scythians did it, so they must have had Greeks with them. So the Greeks did it for them. And then the Scythians could live alongside them.

So, you know, that's almost his way of explaining away this confusion. But of course, we know, well, we don't need to explain that away. But yeah, it is absolutely fascinating. Of course, there is no direct link between these things. I know there is a radical conspiracy that the Scythians made all the way to Ireland. There is no truth to that. But, you know, be honest. Exceptionalism.

But yeah, no, there is no connection here between them. So it is just an interesting thing where humans are doing similar things to solve similar problems when they're not connected, which is a major thing which I became obsessed with writing the book I've done where human ingenuity

solves problems as they come to a various society or a culture sometimes they solve it the same way sometimes they solve it a different way but what's so amazing the reason why we love history so much is because humans are so alike and yet so different and it's just fascinating to see how different people dealt with the same problems

The most amazing discovery I came across in my research was a burial just outside Bilsk of a woman, presumably an elite woman, We don't know her standing. We don't know her role. She could be a priestess. She could be a leader. We don't know. But she's clearly an elite woman because it's a very ornate burial and she's buried with some amazing items.
