| Title | Skifskaja imperija. Central'naja evrazija i rozhdenie klassicheskoj jepohi ot Persii do Kitaja |
| Description | In the late 8th and early 7th centuries BCE, Scythian warriors conquered and unified much of the Eurasian continent, creating an innovative empire that ushered in the Classical Age across the ancient world — in the West, the Middle East, India, and China. Nomadic pastoralists, the Scythians made astonishing contributions to world civilisation, building new capital cities, innovating clothing styles, revolutionising political organisation, and incorporating the ideas of Buddha, Zoroaster, and Laozi. In The Scythian Empire, Christopher Beckwith offers a new history of this forgotten empire that changed the course of history. Christopher Beckwith is a professor emeritus at Indiana University whose research focuses on Central Eurasia. His numerous books include Empires of the Silk Road, The Tibetan Empire in Central Asia, The Greek Buddha, and Warriors of the Cloisters. |
