概述

斯基泰人善于养马，据信骑术与奶酪等皆出于其发明。公元前7世纪曾对高加索、小亚细亚、亚美尼亚、米底以及亚述帝国大举入侵，威胁西亚近七十年，其骑兵驰骋于卡帕多细亚到米底、高加索到之间，寻找掠夺物。其后逐渐衰落，分为众多部落，公元373年随被称为“上帝之鞭”的匈人阿提拉王率领，入侵欧洲，一度抵达巴黎近郊之阿兰人（注意不是阿瓦尔人），即为其中之一部。有人认为，现在定居在阿富汗西南部的普什图族 Sakzai部落 （ 英语 ： Sakzai ） ，就是斯基泰人的后裔。现在定居在俄罗斯的北奥塞梯-阿兰共和国、格鲁吉亚和已事实独立的俄罗斯的卫星国南奥塞梯共和国的奥塞梯人，也是斯基泰人的后裔。

斯基泰人没有文字，但善于冶金打造饰物，留下了许多金器至今。
