Google (and searching) can be a pain in the ass.

I've typed "world history" in before, got some very good sites. Oddly that's not one of them.

The other night before posting I tried "civilizations of the steppes", nothing. "Ancient steppe civilizations" .... nothing ....

It's when I changed the search from civilization to "culture" and (believe this one?) "people of the steppes" that tons of stuff finally started coming up.

Even on Wickpedia "steppe" and variants would only give me one stupid paragraph on the geography of "a steppe" .... other searches "History of Central Asia" finally gave me good stuff.

Another lesson in both the art of surfing, and how SEs can be as friendly as mud.

You're welcome.

That site is addictive, because of all the hiper links you can spend hours reading through it.. My Missus is basque, so I spent a while researching the language, found that site really useful.
