Aaawwww...thank you @akgrrrl, I am intensely curious and there is soooo much to explore. Thanks for the Netflix suggestion ?I was wondering how many young ppl would even understand his careful historical explain. Good on you Lolly for being the curious student!! A very interesting "historical" series made in Turkey is on netflix. It was incredibly popular with the Turks of course, but also to many of the tribes up thru the Caucasus as well. Its popularity caused more seasons and prob more historical license but the 42min segments are easy to watch. The armor, weapons and handwoven textiles are amazing, many facets of religion and the politics of,from Christianity, to pagan mongols, to Sufi and traditional Islam are imbedded in each season. Great horseman and best hand to hand weapons skils after season 3 or so.Season 1 had 110 episodes if I remember. Quite the series.
