  1. It's actually the general scientific consensus.

  2. ps. not in the slightest. It's the general scientific consensus. Only that the modern humans came out of Africa in a single wave around 60.000 years ago had been debunked. Different human groups came out of Africa in different waves prior than 60.000 years ago. They settled in different parts of the world and slightly differentiated. Then there had ben a limited interbreed when the subsequent wave of humans came out of Africa and occupied the lands the previous one had settled before.

  3. They weren't locked in a struggle with Germania. For much of the Empire, Germania had been occasionally a nuisance. Still in late 4th Century, Emperor Julian, after having beaten the Alamanni at Argentorarum, decided to campaign in Persia. Until the battle of Adrianople, the Romans didn't consider the Germanics a real treat.

  4. The biggest archaeological source of Roman silverware is actually Denmank. They reached it at the time of Augustus, and remained in friendly terms with the tribes there.

  8. Simply the guide guide translated as that. At the time it was common to accomunate gods with similar charateristics. It was not like they had a creed to recite, or a liturgy to follow.

  10.  @potato88872  As said, there were at least two stable Roman commercial outposts in southern India, and Roman coinage had been found in Indochina.

  11. There is plenty of evidences. Pangaea started breaking around 230 millions years ago, at the start of the Triassic period and well before humanity, or modern mammals for that matter. White Europeans and "someone from Africa" are more genetically similar than the members of a single group of Bonobo apes.
