Epic Warrior Women: Amazons

Series 1, episode 1

The Amazons hailed from the ferocious nomadic Scythian tribes that controlled a huge swath of Central Asia and kept the powers of Greece, Persia, and China at bay. With the help of recent archaeological findings, their lives are revisited through the tale of Scythian orphan Alkaya, who grew to become a horse warrior and leader of her tribe in a defining battle against the Persians in the 6th century BC
