Scythian cosmology

The Scythian cosmology corresponded to the typically Indo-Iranic tripartite structure of the universe of Scythian cosmology,[4] which is also present in the Vedic and Avestan traditions, and according to which the universe was composed of:[5]

  • a celestial realm;
  • the airspace;
  • and the earthly realm.

Since the Scythians did not have a written language, their non-material culture can only be pieced together through writings by non-Scythian authors, parallels found among other Iranic peoples, and archaeological evidence.
