I think i am a massagetae, but technically i'm a romanian, indeed.
massa in old iranian meant BIG... you can compare with mass/massive.
getae were a people Herodotus(book 4.93 - 4.95) wrote about, describing their monotheistic religion... they believed in Zalmoxis
Zalmoxis was a former slave in Egypt, that taught his people(the getae) that the soul is immortal, and that there is life after death. to convince his people of his words, ZalMoxis went in a cave for 3(three) years, people thinking he was dead. Zalmoxis reappeared from his tomb after those three years, convincing his people about his teachings, and the getae venerated him as a god after he died for good. http://www.iranchamber.com/history/herodotus/herodotus_history_book4.php
I believe ZalMoxis meant Zeul Mos in getae language.
Zeu/Zeul in romanian means God/the God, while Mos(read mosh) means Elder
I believe Zalmoxis was non other than Moses, and the Getae were the tribe of Gad, one of the 12 tribes of GOD.
I believe the four rivers of eDeN were DaNube, DNiester, DoN and DNieper, and the flooding of Black Sea stands at the basis of Great Flood myths.
ehrr... I also eat apples -and fruits in general- as much as possible. Until mankind will find a way to supply itself with energy without eating stuff, mankind will remain animalkind. so the best human specimen of our days(2004 CE) is nothing but a somewhat advanced animal specimen to me.
oh, and... have I told you there's a lot of propaganda in this history thing ?
