In the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz, 109 warrior graves were unearthed. Excavations within the modern borders of Iran have revealed the existence of female warriors. The Sarmatians were a people of Iranian heritage, with men and women skilled in horsemanship and battle. In December 2019, the graves of four female warriors from the 4th Century BC Sarmatian region were found in the village of Devitsa, in what is now Western Russia. While the story of a race of warrior women first appeared in Greek mythology, excavations across the north and east of the Black Sea region have revealed that warrior women like the Amazons existed in real life. The Amazons of Greek mythology and the real-life warrior women that led to this iconic modern-day Wonder Woman might, in fact, have roots in ancient Persia – modern-day Iran.
