Hi Alanus, just on yurts or "Scythian tents" I googled yurt and got all sorts of explanations on origin most saying yurt was Turkic or Mongolian invention but I found reference below in chapter 4 stating that yurt was Pontic/Scythian in origin and that they passed this on to neighbours. Book depository wants over $500 for this book but found it on Academia below.
