Scalping is the act of cutting or tearing a part of the human scalp, with hair attached, from the head of an enemy as a trophy. Scalp-taking is considered part of the broader cultural practice of the taking and display of human body parts as trophies, and may have developed as an alternative to the taking of human heads, for scalps were easier to take, transport, and preserve for subsequent display. Scalping independently developed in various cultures in both the Old and New Worlds.
Georg Frederici noted in Scalping and Similar Warfare Customs in America that, “Herodotus provided the only clear and satisfactory portrayal of a scalping people in the old world”, in his description of the Scythians, a nomadic people then located to the north and west of the Black Sea.
Herodotus related that Scythian warriors would behead the enemies they defeated in battle and then present the heads to their king, in order to claim their share of the plunder. That done, the warrior “strips the skin off the head by making a circular cut round the ears and shaking out the skull; he then scrapes the flesh off the skin with the rib of an ox, and when it is clean works it with his fingers until it is supple, and fit to be used as a sort of handkerchief. He hangs these handkerchiefs on the bridle of his horse, and is very proud of them. The best man is the man who has the greatest number.” Ammianus Marcellinus noted the taking of scalps by the Alani, a people of Asiatic Scythia, in terms quite similar to those used by Herodotus.

And there are still disbelievers
Those abyss in limbo
In glorious waste
Here lie the unworthy
Stricken to fear
What they cannot taste
And there is still
This mountain to climb
Grip tight tread blood
In hellacious storm
Those unattended
Must fend for themselves
In darkness may you find your way
We've escaped unscathed
Embedded displaced
And there are still souls to save
Seeds to be planted bricks to be lain
Though course and defined
A testament ambivalent to pain
We've escaped uscathed
Embedded displaced
Vehement in recompense
In shame thee bathe
We've set aside your past implied
Burned black we reign
To be reborn one must suffer life
Through deaths acclaim
Speak to me
Your faith bequeath to memory
Speak of me
Your dreams beset to sleep
Speak with me
Triumvirate infinity
