Scythian golden deer (the web page is in Russian, but there are many pictures there)

KATE SARSFIELD said...: I loved the pictures on the website Natalia. There's an almost Celtic or Viking look to many of them that fits in with current thinking about the spread of tribes from eastern/northern Europe. Fascinating.; June 27, 2015 at 11:44 AM
Natalia Khon said...: There is an opinion among the historians that there were no Vikings :) That could explain why the art is so "similar" :) (The Celtics are not being questioned as far as I know). I do not have an opinion either way as I have not studied history that deeply :); June 27, 2015 at 1:18 PM
KATE SARSFIELD said...: I hadn't heard that one - what about all the Viking invasions then? Anywho, I'll have to look into it further!; June 28, 2015 at 6:02 AM
Natalia Khon said...: I am not a great person to discuss it... but let me know if you hear about this, please :); June 28, 2015 at 10:02 AM
