Where is the probable location of the Amazon Warriors (Women) located?

Amazons are a misnomer, developed by some uninformed Greeks well into prehistory. You see, the Indo-Europeans were patriarchal, and tended to see the world through patriarchal eyes. So, when they interacted with other cultures which were matriarchal, they simply transferred masculine qualities onto the women as leaders. So, some cultures have always considered daughters to be a burden, so they could well imagine women actually getting rid of male children. Men are warriors, so they expected women to be as well. Their breasts would clearly get in the way of drawing a bow, so the legend of them removing their right one was used as a further way of defeminizing them. To answer your question, any matriarchal culture the Greeks found would have been considered to have Amazons. At the time, cultures to their East, in Mesopotamia, and on Crete would all have had Amazons.
