When you try to unravel the histories you realize there was a lot of 
cribbing going on with pure fiction to fill in the blanks. Then there are 
the dead ends like the assumption Jordanes copied Cassiodorus although 
there are no texts by Cassiodorus. According to him the Goths took a shot 
at Troy after the Trojan Wars. 

The twist is he might have been right about the Geats if you look at 
modern DNA patterns. The thought is I-M253 arose in Scandinavia and spread 
out from there. Did they becomes Goths?

It's hard to separate the fly shit from the pepper.

Funny thing about tracing genealogies back to Africa. The Dark Continent 
doesn't get much love outside of the Marvel universe. Been to any good 
African restaurants lately?
