maybe, but, in my oppinion revisionism mean to revise a prooven history, not an unsearched one. besides, i replied to the topic "Dacia: Romania or Denmark", even it belong to category alternative history.

it is absolutely nothing to afraid of: we speak here about verry thiny links. not about english language, like jamaicans, or packistaneese. besides, this include dacians spoke a germanic language: they were tracians, in 4 century bc, but till 1 century ad they asimilated many germanic&celtic tribes. look at dacians statues on Constantine arch and Trajan column: i think you'd be proud about such ancestors. on the other hand, romanians inherited, especialy, the dacian culture, not such much dacian blood. you can find many light eye&fair hairy, but, in average, romanians are light brunetts, and not such "germanic" talled.
