Amazonians - Dying species

[Reply #40 on:]

It's not quite a myth, matriarchal tribes did exist, but they were probably considered so disturbing by the archaic greeks that the propaganda about their abandoning male children was probably created to make them look even more icky. Also, they had cooties.

Actually the myth might have been inspired by the Scythians a group of people from southern Ukraine and Russia. http://www.amazonation.com/Archaeology.html
