When you try to unravel the histories you realize there was a lot of
cribbing going on with pure fiction to fill in the blanks. Then there are
the dead ends like the assumption Jordanes copied Cassiodorus although
there are no texts by Cassiodorus. According to him the Goths took a shot
at Troy after the Trojan Wars.

Funny thing about tracing genealogies back to Africa. The Dark Continent
doesn't get much love outside of the Marvel universe. Been to any good
African restaurants lately?

This is the truth! In Stockholm there was one Ethiopian restaurant. I went there once, and it was ok, but nothing spectacular. This must have been about 20 years ago or so. Then it closed, and a new one has opened close to my father, but it never seems to be full.
If I remember correctly it kind of tasted like very spicy indian food with weird flat bread that I didn't like.
