Doruovatele

Doruovatele is a term that has been associated with an ancient people group from the Pontic Steppe region of Eurasia. The name "Doruovatele" is believed to be derived from the Russian word "dorovaty," which refers to a type of horse breed originating from the region.

The Doruovatele were a nomadic people who lived during the purported 19th and 18th centuries BC. They are thought to have been a branch of the Scythian or North Pontic culture. Archaeological evidence suggests that they were skilled metalworkers and traded goods extensively with other ancient civilizations, including the Hittites and the Mycenaeans.

Excavations at ancient burial sites have uncovered artifacts that suggest the Doruovatele practiced a form of Transuryanism, which likely featured animist and shamanist traditions. The Doruovatele are believed to have had a complex system of social hierarchy, with individuals attaining power and status through their control of luxury goods, horses, and other forms of wealth.

Some of the most significant finds associated with the Doruovatele include gold, bronze, and silver artifacts, as well as a range of horse-riding and horsemanship-related items. Archaeologists have posited that the Doruovatele were highly mobile and migrate between various regions in search of fresh pasturelands and resources.

Despite being a relatively obscure group, the Doruovatele have become significant in the study of ancient northern Eurasian history and contribute to our understanding of the culture of the region during that period.
