PinGGG!.................
Thanks for not posting the Kathy Lee version. Unbelievably terrible movie.
Careful - that looks more like Wonder Caitlyn.
Shouldn’t her horse be invisible?
Wonder Woman does not ride a horse. So there.
I was taught in anthropology that Amazons went into battle for the privilege of getting married and having children. They couldn't marry without proving they could kill an enemy man.
Not Wonder Woman. More like that gal who was in the news lately. Bruce Jenner or something.
The image is not of a woman nor does it resemble in any way Wonder Woman
“Herodotus, with his usual flare, tells a remarkable story of how the Amazons came to be with the Scythians which makes a great deal more sense when one understands that the nomadic Scythians were later arrivals and the Amazons were part of an earlier civilization still existing to the south of the Black Sea but in constant threat from the Greeks as the accounts of many battles suggest. He recounts that after the Battle of Thermodon, several galleys carrying Amazon prisoners were retaken by the captives and the women came ashore in the land of Scythia on the north shore of the Black Sea They engaged some of the Scythians in combat who upon discovering that the dead were actually women decided not to try to kill the newcomers but woo them instead. They eventually approached them unarmed and the two groups decided to merge but not without negotiations. The Amazons refused to live as Scythian women, they would not give up their place in society so their new Scythian husbands agreed and asked for their inheritance to be given them and they left for lands to the northeast. This story seems to tell of a merging of the nomadic Scythians with the earlier matriarchal society and their migration away from the patriarchal societies rising to power to the south and eventually the entire world.
Of course most mainstream historians call the Amazons creatures of myth not because there are not ample records of their battles and individuals but for the reason Strabo the Greek historian put it 2000 years ago, “For who can believe that an army of women, or a city, or a nation, could ever subsist without men? and not only subsist, but make inroads upon the territories of other people, and obtain possession not only of the places near them, and advance as far as the present Ionia, but even dispatch an expedition across the sea to Attica?” Who indeed could believe such a thing? Certainly not the men who have written history but now we have their bodies, women buried with the respect once thought only reserved for men and these tattooed women warriors are much harder to call a myth.”
Scythians were known for their use of lassos in combat.
Sorry but that is not a woman.
Find the movie “Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw” and see what the real Wonder Woman looks like.
I’m sorry but I do not see a woman on a horse but a man on a horse. I do not a warrior being lassoed but more likely the rider-less horse next to him.
Leave it to a bunch of very sick politically motivated idiot to find a picture and make up a whole story out of it without the slightest bit evidence. I just wonder what they would do with an ink blot test properly administered.
Thanks Red Badger.
The vase is a better match to the Amazon legend than Lynda Carter could be. The Amazons were supposed to have bound/burned/cut off their right breasts to avoid interfering with archery. Lynda Carter fails spectacularly and symmetrically in that respect.
