[gothic-l] Germanic Migrations

[bertil]

Dirk,

No, history deals with periods way
behind the time when written records
exist.

The latest in this field is the so called
"big history". It seems as if you are
not quite abreast with the developments
in this field which of course brings
me back, even more curious, about your
background. Let me at a future time return
to the concept of "big history".

Germanically
