[edit] Re: Amazons

Yes, I know about the reference. There are some books however that point out that not only is the name Amazon of Scythian-Sarmatian origin, but that the Greeks did get the idea from a tribe of warrior women who are believed to have lived around the Black Sea region from the Caucasus to the Ukraine. That reference is perhaps a poor one for this particular situation though as Kimball doesn't believe that the Amazons are linked to them whereas other academics do.

Hmm, yes you raise some valid points. I re-worded it so as to mention the theory and not leave it as definite that they are the same warrior women of Greek legend. Let me know what you think and I'll change it more if it does not appear viable. Tombseye 16:27, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I dropped a line to a friend of mine who is an admin. to see how the main page can be changed. I personally have no idea! Hopefully it'll get taken care of. Ciao. Tombseye 17:32, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
