The first stage of the Sintashta-Petrovka culture or Sintashta-Arkaim culture, the Sintashta culture (in Romanized Russian: Sintashtinskaya kultura) is a late Middle Bronze Age archaeological culture that was found in the northern Eurasian steppe on the frontiers of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, lying east of the Southern Urals. Based on a collection of 19 calibrated radiocarbon dating samples, scholar Stephan Lindner has published a paper dating the entire Sintashta-Petrovka complex to between 2050 and 1750 BCE. The Sintashta archaeological site in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, inspired the name of the culture, which is found in Orenburg Oblast, Bashkortostan, and northern Kazakhstan. Members from the Corded Ware culture are believed to have migrated eastward, representing the Sintashta culture. It is usually believed to be where the Indo-Iranian languages first emerged. The Sintashta culture is seen to be a strong contender for the genesis of the technology, which expanded throughout the Old World and played a significant part in ancient combat techniques. The oldest recorded chariots have been discovered in Sintashta cemeteries. The concentration of copper mining and bronze metallurgy that was practised at Sintashta communities is especially noteworthy because it is rare for a Steppe society. Elevated degrees of militarization and numerous fortified settlements—of which 23 are known—are among the primary characteristics of Sintashta culture. Intertribal conflict had been inherent to the Abashevo culture before it, and it became more intense during the Sintashta era due to environmental stress and struggle for resources. This inspired the extraordinary extent of fortification building as well as advancements in military strategy like the development of the war chariot. Spearheads, trilobed arrowheads, chisels and huge shaft-hole axes, among other Sintashta relic types, were brought east. The composite bow associated with later chariotry does not exist, but many Sintashta tombs are equipped with weaponry. Their notorious chariots, as well as axes, maceheads, spearheads and cheekpieces, are examples of elevated-status burial goods. It is believed that the Proto-Indo-Iranian language family, which is the ancestor of the Indo-Iranian language family, was spoken by the Sintashta people. This resemblance is based on the Rig Veda, one of the most sacred scriptures that contains ancient Indo-Iranian hymns written in Vedic Sanskrit and the funeral-rites of the Sintashta culture as revealed by archaeology as the main reason for this inferrence. Nordic Bronze Age of Scandinavia has also been found to share many cultural traits with the Sintashta. It is hypothesised that the Indo-Iranians migrated from the Sintashta culture to India, Iran and Anatolia. Iranian languages moved westward with the Scythians beginning in the ninth century BCE and returned to the Pontic steppe, where the proto-Indo-Europeans originated.
