Turkishness-of-the-Royal-Scythians

Herodotus mentins 2500 years ago the people called βασιλήϊοι Σκύθαι (Royal Scythians). 

We can read βασιλήϊοι like basilii and it should have meant royal.

The "basil" words in Greek are non-Greek words and there is still no convincing etymology for that.

Why?

I tell you why! Because all scholars are ignoring the Türks and their language. All Western scholars "think" that Scythians were Iranian people without a real reason... They quote each other and present it as the only truth...

Now I have an other proposal: 

Look at Old Türkic word: başlığ (modern Türkish başlı) meaning literally they who have a head. Başlığ could have meant easily "they with a head (chieftain)"or they who held their head high/proud. All these Türkic words are compatible with βασιλήϊοι in form and in sound. 

Direct and short comparison: basilii = başlığ

*

That means βασιλήϊοι Σκύθαι = Başlığ Iskitler = Scythian who had a king! 

Presumably the leading tribe among the Türkic (and of course of other nations) steppe confederation whose elite was surely Türkic.
