>>46259These proto-Romanians of 5000 BC created the Tartaria tablets, which is proof of their sophistication in that age. They were the products of steppe tribe invasion into Western European agricultural lands. This is probably the story of "Sauron" in LOTR who creates "orc slaves" out of "mud". This is the steppe tribe creating mutts out of the Romanian agriculturalists and turning them into slave soldiers for the empire. Everyone else then had to contend with this mighty economic power.
So, those proto-Romanians are in the same region as Greece and Anatolia. I think they moved southward and into the Mediterranean, and they became the Minoans, the Phoenicians, and the "Egyptians" (King Menes being the first Pharaoh, although some archaeologists believe Egypt existed for thousands of years before this, so King Menes and his descendants maybe didn't build the pyramids). Then, they moved eastward and became or conquered the Sumerians and Babylonians (and Mesopotamia at large). I believe the Babylonians called them Gutians in their age, so it didn't all happen instantly – they didn't conquer the whole world in one swoop.
In the end, it isn't even a single group of people that we can label so much as it is an influence from this ancient period that is felt by many people today, although some people try to claim they descend directly from them. I believe this may be the root of Judaism, but it's also in Hinduism. The whole thing about being the solar avatar is at the root of this all.
