Scythians (İskitler) were seen as the ancestors of the Turks in Renaissance era in Europe and it was accepted that Turkic "barbarians" had a different spirit from "servile" Arabs - (based on the idea first put forth in Ancient Greece by Aristotle according to which the peoples who live in cold and mountainous areas have a tougher and more "war-like" temperament than those who live in hot and dry areas).
