In fact "kimerioi" was the generally name given by the folks of Asia
Minor to all the Nordic people.
The name was got by Greeks from these people of AM.
It should be maybe helpfully their toponym and antroponyms for trying to
make a link to something.
If there is a name like "Marcomir", one will think at Celtic "marco" at
Dacian "marcodava" for instance.
It seems there is a name which points more to "european" as to "iranian"
side.
I wondered always where from is this funny idea with Iranian leadership
over all.
Iranians in Karpathian Mountains, Iranian as leader of Germans, Iranians
over Celts, Iranians over all.
And in time, there is no Iranian anymore, all becoming assimilated by
"different folks" ,but just after they gave the IE languages to these
folks. It seems a far away from life scenario, very weak for being true
too.
