The Sarmatians flourished from the time of Herodotus Herodotus was an ancient Greek historian who lived in the 5th century BC (c. 484 BC – c. 425 BC). He is regarded as the "Father of History" in Western culture. He was the first historian known to collect his materials systematically, test their accuracy to a certain extent and arrange them in a well-constructed and vivid narrative and allied partly with the Huns The Huns were a group of nomadic pastoral people who, appearing from beyond the Volga, migrated into Europe c. 370 CE and built up an enormous empire in Europe. Since De Guignes linked them with the Xiongnu who had been northern neighbours of China three hundred years before, considerable scholarly effort has been devoted in investigating such a when they arrived in the fourth century AD.

Q. wat did the sarmatians hav to do with king arthur?

A. Arthur was supposedly of Sarmatian stock, a nation that was overrun by the Romans and forced into military service for a period of time. The most recent King Arthur movie cites "recent scholarship" or something like that -- like some ancient text just recently turned up -- that claims that Arthur was a Sarmatian and was carried off to be in the Roman military until 21 or 25. After completing what they believed to be their final mission, Rome presses them into one more and afterward, Arthur realizes that the Rome that he fought for is no more, so he decides to remain in England and unite all of the warring factions there -- the Picts, Celts, Angles, Saxon, Irish, etc. But this "recent scholarship" is not named.
