Cyrus in the bag

For your weekend steppe Mongol (actually Saka) barbarian fix. This is an actual Kazakh movie. Much war and intrigue and the central character (Tomiris) is a female warrior queen who actually bagged Cyrus the Great - ie stopped the Persian advance into the Steppes circa 500 BC by decapitating him and putting his head in a bag (this is historically accurate). This is Game of Thrones pre-Ghengniz edition. On Amazon Prime
