Pontic Steppe Nomadic Sacred Landscape
-700 - 200
This era encompasses the nomadic cultures of the Scythians, Sarmatians, and Cimmerians who inhabited the Pontic Steppe. Their presence is marked by sacred landscapes, burial mounds (kurgans), and significant geographical features like the Dnieper Rapids, which influenced their movements and settlement patterns. Archaeological findings, such as Scythian-Sarmatian burials and artifacts near Nikopol, provide tangible evidence of their existence and cultural practices.
