With this depiction of a Yamnaya warrior, the artist Christian Sloan Hall has conclusively proven that it is possible to wear a skirt and ugg boots without looking gay. We referred to eneolithic steppe burials in which evidence of clothing was found and it turns out trousers don’t seem to have been invented yet, and men wore skirts and tunics. The Yamnaya stelae also depict men going about naked except for belts and weapons - reminiscent of much later Roman accounts of Celtic warriors. This warrior is wearing a wolf tooth necklace, silver hair coils on his braids and is covered in ochre body paint. Men on the steppe wore sandals but also had skin or fleece boots for the winter. He carries two bronze daggers and a primitive bronze spear as well as a stone axe. With the limited evidence available to us, this is as close as we can get to a realistic depiction of how a Yamnaya warrior might have looked to the unfortunate enemy who had to fight against them. You can learn more about this fierce ancient race and also see realistic 3D reconstructions of their faces in my forthcoming video about the Yamnaya - so make sure you are subscribed to my YouTube so you do not miss it!
“Zawsze, gdy na mnie spojrzysz, Wiedz : Że jestem smutny n i e d l a t e g o (Dlaczegokolwiek, O czym pomyśleć możesz), Ale dla czegoś innego, Dalekiego Czym ty się nigdy nie trwożysz. Umrę ci kiedyś. Oczy mi zamkniesz. I wtedy - swoje Smutne, zdziwione, Bardzo otworzysz.”
