Phillips E.D. The Royal Hordes. Nomad Peoples of the Steppes

New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1965. — 144 p. — (Library of the Early Civilizations).The nomadic way of life was an extraordinary blend of barbarism and great sophistication. The nomads have often determined the course of civilizations and empires, but they have also threatened the peace of urban dwellers whose wealth they coveted.
This is the history of their way of life from its beginnings in the fourth millennium B.C. to the end of the first age of mounted nomads, marked by the advance of the Huns in the fifth century A. D. This story is told in rich detail, describing the treasures found in the graves of legendary chiefs at Maikop, Kul Oba, Pazyryk, and Noin Ula; the vigor, startling conventions and distortions of nomadic art and folklore as well as the military and social history.E.D.
