Summary/Abstract: Within this paper, we try to explore a poorly approached area by the international relation academics or by historical studies, from the gender relations perspective and their political-social organizations (inclusively military), of the Eurasian archaic world. ”Amazons’ civilizations” (a recent name, used by Greek authors that placed them near Istros/Danube and Black Sea), warrior women organized in state militarized structures (kingdoms) meant for the archaic eras, inclusively for the kurgan civilizations (the beginnings of patriarchal organization, III-II B.C.) an unbeatable force, as Great Maestras of Archaic Wars, crushing any chance of resistance against them. Such military feminine structures dominated the archaic era, from the giga-age of matriarchal civilizations, from the birth of first human organizations (maternal gintas, primitive communes) to kingdoms and empires, to huge spaces controlled by warrior leader-women of Arian civilization, the Carpathian-Danubian-Black (Wallach/Blach) Sea one. The area of today Romania is considered by academics of Old Europe, to be the source of European civilizations, having consolidated and expansionist matriarchal structures, not only to Istros/Danube or to Black Sea but on Ialomita River and Romanian Banat (Timisoara). The celebrity of such warrior-women was so great in the archaic world (providing us with primary information organized in informational packages named mythologies or folklore), so they were sacralised in the lands where that celebrity penetrated, as semi-divines beings, as walkyrii, as collecting souls of dead warrior-men from the battle camps. The space controlled by them became sacralised also, under the name of ”Walhalla” (from ”walah-women”),”the land of Wallachia –women”, of ”the collectors of dead warrior-men souls”, the ”Ladies of dark, sad, gloomy lands” (-Kyra, cara). But Wallachia-women were also initiators of laws (the first law codices from proto-history), the so-called”Belagynes”, previously with millennia to any law tablets initiated by patriarchal ages. The paper proposes a perspective over an archaic world described as ”primitive” under the stereotypes of patriarchal pattern not understanding the specificity and greatness of a mega-epoch dominated by complex and particularly resistant matriarchal structures (inclusively working under the first age of patriarchal order, the kurgan civilizations).
