Why do you say you are researching wrong information??? I'd like you
to research this information: Bands of Indo-Europeans [Aryans or
whatever you want to call them]marching all over Eurasia and leaving
their language there. Would there be something wrong if 10 authors
spoke of them as being in 20 or 30 different "countries"? At least
the authors you post passed on legends which may or may not be true,
but there were such people as they spoke of. (I take their accounts
with a grain of salt. Legends and myths usually contain a grain of
salt.)
