How did Scythians look like?

They look like very Turkic.

There is no base to claim that they were IE people. The famous Massaget princess was called Tomiris. Eventhough there is a confusion between Scythians and Sakas and Massagets should be included into Sakas, It is so clear that her name is Turkish. The name Tomir which is seen as Temur or Timur later means iron in Turkish.

It is obvious that they were not IE.

Not according to Herodotus. Heredotus said that : "By many they are regarded as a Scythian race."

http://www.piney.com/Heredotus1.html translated by George Rawlinson.

 We do not know who are those "many". Gokturks were also considered as Scythians by East Romans too.

According to my book of Heredotus he said "there are ALSO ones who said that they are from Scythians."

In this part of the book of Heredotus it is told anything about a drink. I think you are talking about opium smell.

Eating fishes, using battle-axes shows nothing about their ethnic origins. How could this approach be scientific? BUT the word sagar - (is) seems very Turkic.

Heredotus : I - 216  

"Milk is what they chiefly drink. The only god they worship is the sun, and to him they offer the horse in sacrifice; under the notion of giving to the swiftest of the gods the swiftest of all mortal creatures."

This is like Turks, sky god, Tengrism. Their culture is completely Turkic.

This shows nothing. What do you know about Royal Scythians. But I know that today's Turkmenistan's president name is Sapar Murad.

Let's look at what Heredotus was exactly saying about the matter if he will be taking into consideration.

BOOK IV - 20- http://www.piney.com/Heredotus4.html

" On the opposite side of the Gerrhus is the Royal district, as it is called: here dwells the largest and bravest of the Scythian tribes, which looks upon all the other tribes in the light of slaves. Its country reaches on the south to Taurica, on the east to the trench dug by the sons of the blind slaves, the mart upon the Palus Maeotis, called Cremni (the Cliffs), and in part to the river Tanais. North of the country of the Royal Scythians are the Melanchaeni (Black-Robes), a people of quite a different race from the Scythians."

Taurica is Crimea just north of Black Sea and it is populated by Turks even today despite they have been deriven out by Stalin. Crimean Tatars. The name Taurica is itself a very interesting name but let's say this was only a chance.

Heredotus continues : Book IV-21

"When one crosses the Tanais, one is no longer in Scythia; the first region on crossing is that of the Sauromatae, who, beginning at the upper end of the Palus Maeotis, "

Scythia ends at river Don at north of Black Sea. So beyond Tanais is no more Scythia.

Heredotus continues: IV - 22

"Beyond the Budini, as one goes northward, first there is a desert, seven days' journey across; after which, if one inclines somewhat to the east, the Thyssagetae are reached, a numerous nation quite distinct from any other, and living by the chase..................Adjoining them, and within the limits of the same region, are the people who bear the name of Iyrcae; ..........Beyond these people, a little to the east, dwells a distinct tribe of Scyths, who revolted once from the Royal Scythians, and migrated into these parts. "

So according to Heredotus who was making distinctions of Scythians beyond Tanais such as ones who revolted before. So we can say that Sauromates and others are out of Scyhtia and theye were not considered as Scythians by Heredotus.

By conclusion we do not have any proof to show Massagets who live around Lake Aral as Scythians.

"They were eating fishes, they were using battle axes so they were Iranians....." Are these things proofs? Sorry but this is not scientific.  

I agree with Cyrus that the root of Queen Tomyris' name (I quoted Rawlison's transl.) was Avestan Taxma, (in latin script appears also in form takma). Even if her name remains male form, she as the widow queen could be obliged to use her housband's name.

TAHM: Brave, valiant

TAMUR: Name of a son of the hero Barzu; shortened form of Tahmuras

TAHMURAS: A strong body; Av. Takma Urupa; name of the second Pishdadian king; son of King Hooshang

Taxmasp�da.

TEHMINA: Strong woman; name of hero Rustam's wife and daughter of King of Samang

so you think it is in fact a type of horse? Tarpan is a greyish horse, maybe that was "Sorb Pa" (greyish leg) or "Sorb Asp" (greyish horse).

I don't want to get off the subject too much, but I looked at the link provided by Alparslan and I noticed that all the Polish Czapka caps are square on top.  Does anyone have any idea why they have that unique shape?

Tarpan and Przewalski Horse were original habitats of the steppes. Perhaps similar breed of horse was first being domesticed. Note that Przewalski Horse is called Takh in mongolian !!!!.

Avestan Urupa meaning body has its continuation in the semantic of Polish word trup means dead body. This semantic construction had been perhaps following: horse/other source of meat - dead body- rituals.

Within this mate of the primary IE ethymology meaning of tarpan can be traced in Greek word therap�n which identifies god with hero through death and had actually meant something like 'ritual substitute' at the time it was borrowed into Greek from Anatolia, probably in the second millennium B.C. Compare Hittite tarpa��a-/tarpan(alli)- 'ritual substitute', corresponding formally to Greek theraps/therap�n.The applications of the word therap�n in ancient Greek poetry are semantically secondary: 'warrior's companion' . (sic!)

Greatest Hindu festival Durga Puja in which God is adored as Mother is preceded by Mahalaya when all the members of the family remember their ancestors. This ritual is called Tarpan.

"Sorb Pa" (greyish leg) 

It sounds like the Serbs' etnicon. We know that the Alans wore grey dresses so it would be another trace of Serbian alano-sarmatian origin!
