Amazon Warriors

Who says women can't fight? A good old cat fight is not something to sneer at, eh?

Whenever we say "Amazon" we think of sexy, beautiful Brazilian warriors deep within the Amazon ready to rip heads off their enemies. Nice. Growl.

But the Amazons, who attacked European explorers - particularly the Portuguese - in the 16th century - along the Amazon river - weren't the only warrior band of women to grace history.

A few of these tribes, as far as I can tell, were connected with Atlantis and Greek mythology. Here's a quick overview:

Caucasians: Lived around 8000 B.C. between the Caspian and Black seas along the Thermidon River (also spelled Termodon). By the age of eight, girls had their right breast seared with an iron so as to not disrupt the use of a bow and arrow. They meant business.

Libyans: Lived in the Altas Mountains in Morocco. Wore red leather armour into battle. Wait. Getting a mental picture. I'm sure many a men lost a head (excuse the pun) staring at the Libyans as they attacked. They were caught with the proverbial "dick in their hands" I assume.

Gagans: Existed in North Africa and routinely killed baby boys prior to their conversion to Christianity.

Hamitics: Lived between the Nile and the Red Sea.

Sauromatians: Lived along the Don River in Russia.

Euryple's Amazons: Captured Babylon in 1760 B.C.
