This is the oldest 'true' saddle in East Asia, dating to the early 5th century AD. This period corresponds with the rise of the Rouran Khaganate, suggesting the rise in Mongolian steppe cultures was facilitated by advances in equestrian technology. 🐎

Christopher Atwood's review of Beckwith's bananas "Scythian Empire" book is out. Atwood, being a very nice man, does not go as hard as he could have, but he makes it clear that the book is complete bullshit that peddles a fantasty of a pan-Eurasian Aryan Empire of philosophical fedual monotheists.

Mongol (tartar) couple in Boxer Codex, circa 1590s.
The period roughly corresponds with the rise of 3 "Khalkha" Khanates and other semi-independent Buddhist Khanates in today's Western Inner Mongolia, on the backdrop of the diminishing influence of Great Khagans.

Aujourd'hui cela fait un an jour pour jour que j'ai soutenu ma thèse de doctorat, dédiée à l'organisation des sociétés des steppes, principalement à travers l'exemple mongol, et dans laquelle j'ai défendu l'idée d'une forme spécifiquement nomade de l’État ayant l'armée comme épine dorsale.
