The Amazons - On the trail of the legendary fighters | myDOCUMENTARY

There are at least 2 Amazon tribes that still exist today but are located in central Africa. No one has served a meeting with them so far .

Whoever keeps spelling Amazons as “Amazon’s” its plural, doesn’t need an apostrophe, also all these women mentioned who led armies (of men none the less) and fought in battles has nothing to do with the Amazons , i think the closest inspiration behind the myth are The Women Warriors who dwelled in the lands north of the Black Sea (Scythia) but even they don’t really coincide with the Amazons except for their wardrobe since thats how we know there’s a link between the Scythians and the Amazons, Amazons in Greek vases are depicted wearing the exact same attire up to the last detail as the attire the remains of women warriors who were excavated in the Eurasian Steppes were wearing and buried in. Thats proof that women warriors existed, but to prove the existence of an Amazon State The Scythians would’ve had to have been an all female society or at least a matriarchal one where men held less power than women and had no positions of authority, Scythian Tribes were usually lead by a man. Trousers were invented by Scythians btw

There was 3 great migrations of the Amazon's and the second one is where they made contact with the tribes if the east .

You still get it completely wrong when it comes to the Amazon's.

Respect my ancestors

I disagree with some of your experts. In pre Islamic periods, for thousands of years in Iranian culture men and women were equal in all aspects of life, incluidng going to battle. Based on various Iranian tribes history, many women have fought in amny battles and had held high office in theire tribes, government and military. On Greek pottery, whenever you see any man or woman is wearing pants, the subject is absoluety is Iranians, as Iranians invented pants because they had a horse culture. The Greeks and Roman men and women did not were pants. The tatooed Amazon women are essentially from the Iranian Sarmatian tribes and later some Iranian Scytian women adopted the military participation. There are many examples in the Iranan history where women have led in battles, for example the leading naval officer who lead the Iranian armada of several hundred naval ships who led the Iranain invasion of Greece was Artemis, she was highly respected by the Iranain King and had other battles in her CV! There are hundreds of other examples like that are documented in the Iranain people's history. So Amazons are NOT a figment of men's imagination.

The arrogance of the male speaker is staggering! Dismissive.....typical example of the Patriarchy

The guy turned out to be a sexist without wanting to turn out to be a sexist. ,,the greeks also spoke about mystical beings and we don't believe that these existed either.'' you can't compare that, you idiot. 🤦‍♀️ is the idea of fighting women so absurd to you that you compare them to mythical creatures? someone has a really broken ego that he even exclude all evidence from archaeologists. there have already been a number of finds where female skeletons have been found, with weapons and also jewelry, which also suggests to this civilization. whether there were amazon women, shield maidens or whatever, there were women who fought, that is scientifically proven. and since the male ego is so arrogant, putting his strength and size above technique, strategy and fighting spirit, it is actually quite easy to take down a man. In all martial arts you learn, never underestimate your opponent and yet men underestimate women all the time.

I have always had much admiration for the Amazonian story’s, and I personally feel like they did exist! I could never submit to cutting off a boob though!! lol… No thanks!.

古希腊神话中丑化亚马逊女兵，说什么脸上涂抹泥土，说什么她们没有一只乳房等等，希腊男人想，警惕自己的女人不反抗男人，所以妖魔化亚马逊女战士。

亚马逊有没有后裔。

What man would ever admit that women could be warriors. Take the shield maiden’s, or Valkyrie of northern mythology.

What’s the bet they were simply trans men?

Soooo fighting women were an absurd idea to greek men , Meanwhile spartan women were what?

Alexander the Great married a Scythian Queen!

Haben Sie noch mehrere Flächen und Friedhöfen bauen wollen........................? Steinerne Brücke zwischen.............

Fantastic.

I'm sure for a few days each month they where extra brutal.

I love how the Amazons are depicted in this documentary. They are so deadly and fierce, with wonderful black face paint. This is how I imagine the Amazons of Steven Pressfield's novel "Last Of The Amazons" would be depicted if a film is ever made of it.

Tall women command my attention
