 The origins of the Romanians is controversial, because Romanian intellectuals created and kept alive the as yet unproven Daco-Roman origin and continuity theory,  https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/Origin_of_the_Romanians.html Schramm, Gottfried (Germany): 1.) ”Ein Damm bricht.

It clearly shows the urheimat / geographic origin of these people.   The birth of a foreign policy oriented origin theory   The irrational Daco-Roman continuity myth is nothing more than a typical "NATIVIST" (and autochonist) propaganda of the 18th ce
