Hyperborea was the name given by Greek scholars and poets of classical antiquity to an unknown land (terra incognita) they described as being situated in the distant north, a home to a long-lived, gigantic peoples. Varied authors, classical and modern, have suggested the location of Hyperborea to be anywhere from the Kazakh Steppe to Scandinavia, Britain to Siberia, and multitudinous sites beyond.
