The people of the Sintashta culture were Bronze Age chariot warriors of the Northern steppes. A people who changed the world.

Highly patriarchal and warlike, they were also bronze workers who built huge fortified settlements like Arkaim east of the Ural mountains. They invented the chariot and bred the best horses the world had ever seen.

But where did they come from? And what happened to them?

This is the story of the Sintashta culture.
