So what? Inhabitants of Siberia traded with South?
Scythians was one of many nomadic tribes in that region like Kimmerians, Alans, Gypsies, Sarmats and so on. They do not have towns, state or anything resembling any statehood. Scythians originated from Persia where Alexander could meet them. Also they roam on the Balkans where could cross with Greeks. They left nothing except their burial mounts and few rudimentary settlements they built in Crimea just before extinction in attempt to end with nomadic lifestyle in favor of agriculture, but that didn't work out for them. Even jewerly they had was made by other etnicities. They spoke on a language derived from Persian, that iiself much farther from Sanskrit than Russain. Russian language have some borrowed words coming from Persian language, but they are mostly names of commodities Russans traded from Persians.
Fact that Alexander Macedonian could meet some Scythians somewhere in Persia or Balkans, does not mean that he have something to do with Russian state or history. And all that Scythians extincted, like many other nomadic tribes leaving absolutely nothing useful or important for Russia.
Kazakhstan become de-facto part of Russian Empire only in second half of 19 century. Before that there even was a kind of frontier, armored and enforced border protecting Russian towns Omsk, Semipalatinsk, Pavlodar and other from Kazakh forays.
Alexander is nobody for Russian history. Zero. Deal with it.
Yawn, you're as dumb as a mule. You have a very closed mind.
The inhabitants of Southern India, Kerla, where these seashells are from, look it up, Hindu, sanskrit, but importantly where the spice trade, traded with Ancient Egypt, and Arabia.
Nomadic like Alexander's Macedonian tribes on the Balkans, Scythians are also in the Ukraine directly above it, or right there on the Black Sea.
Persia where Aryans come from? Wrong, they aren't Persians. Afghanistan has always hated Persia. Historically a different kingdom. It had influence at one point. But so did the Mongols. The Scythians were horselords.
No, they had Turkic script one of the Planet's oldest languages, it is so profound, a famous Hungarian anthropologist, it's the old Hungarian language before the latin, turn of last century was able to understand Swahili and Aborigines before their languages were translated. It's also in the same region to Mongolia.
Aside from this, what didn't you understand it was explanatory. You're being belligerent for the sake of it and I repeating myself constantly. Look it up. You're understanding history from that was Egyptian then Assyrian then Persian then Greek then Roman and you're focused on these other smaller domains leaving out swathes of history to fit into a tidied little concentric narrative. But it has swept obvious occurrence under the rug. The globe was much bigger and it connects. Prior to Roman patenting. Those trade routes are much older. So are the people in them. They didn't come out of Africa either.
Kazakhstan was part of the Tartary in 1800s maps, it went from Mongolia along the steppes to Afghanistan, parts of Pakistan? Probably one the biggest land areas on the Planet, then. Of the former Mongols and horselords. They had their own Warlords and whatever, and Afghanistan had the Khmer Empire then?
China was also a lot different then.
