I also research the German tribes as that is my main ancestry. At least my name appears to be.

Trivia: German is actually a Latin name for the Teutons, which the so-called 'germans' called themselves before they separated by tribes. Later they called themselves Deutsch.

Another Trivia: The name France is actually derived from the Frankish tribe of Teutons. But they have a Latin influenced language. So genetically the French are German. You probably knew that. Right? Right!

Trivia: Rome was thought to be settled by descendants of a man who escaped from Troy with his father,  who sailed with men he found to Greece, then past Sicily and landed on the western coast of Italy.

Trivia: The name Latin comes from the people that the new settlers from Troy met on the coast of Italy and named Latiniums. The name was forced on them later when Rome conquered the nearby towns.

Trivia: Rome was sacked twice in it's history. Once by the Gauls around the 200's b.c., and once by the Goths around the 4th century A.D.

Trivia: Mesopotamia is not a country. It means "The Land between the two rivers", the Euphrates and the Tigris, where it is roughly diamond shaped.

Trivia: The Sumerians were the first empire.

Trivia: The Chinese are descended from Japheth, 1st son of Noah. So are Caucasians.

Trivia: The Japanese are thought to be Caucasians, especially in the northern island of Japan. Surprise!

Trivia: Germany was not a country until relatively late in European history. It was divided by tribal warfare amongst themselves. They were still tribes well after many other countries had already formed.

Trivia: Britain was first settled by the Pritani from where we get the name Britain.

Trivia: The Pritani were later overrun or destroyed by the Picts, who were later overrun by the Gauls (Celts), who were later overrun by the Anglo-Saxons, who were later conquered by the Normans.

Trivia: The Gauls are the same people mentioned in a book of the Bible. They were called the Galatians then.

Trivia: A Roman general's army was destroyed  by the Teutons in a Teutonic forest in about 50 b.c.

Trivia: The Teutonic tribes did not wear armor when they fought. They also did not ride horses nor use bows and arrows. They usually fought barechested, with knives, spears and wooden shields. This against the heavily armored Romans. They only adopted these later when the Teutons began joining the Roman armies.

Trivia: At it's greatest extent, the Roman empire stretched entirely around the Mediterranean Sea.

Trivia Question: Who do the American Indians come from? Asians/Caucasians?
