Jewish Roots of Poland [638]
During late Roman Empire more then 30% of the population came from Germanic tribes
Oh really? What about all the people who already lived here? Were they related to Romans somehow? No they weren't. (Not even remotely!)
In the end Germanic people made up a significant amount of both Eastern and Western Empires and together with the French who're part Celtic part Germanic inherited (albeit in a much cruder form) the Roman civilisation and many of its achievements.
Actually, the Romans didn't achieve that much, because they copied most of their ideas and concepts from the Greek, who in turn, copied all of this from the Persians. Germanic tribes actually have more in common with the old Persian tribes than they have in common with the late Romans. End of lecture.
Now go read a book captain retard.
Have fun convincing the whole world that civilization started with the Romans, but I think a lot of archeologists already proved you wrong. Oh, and most of the European tribes were anything but Barbarians, but the victor gets to re-write history and all that..
