[gothic-l] Re: The Gothic Migration Epic

[faltin2001]

You answered not one of the questions that I posed and do not even
provide the names and references of the scholars that you say reject
50 years of archaelogical research.

This TV programme as laudible as it might be is certainly not the
cutting edge of research; TV programmes harly ever are. Also the
author of that book is not an expert on Gothic history or archaeology
no matter how well he has consulted the literature.

Do you really think the argument now runs: "The archaeologists like
Bierbrauer or Blischke,  say that the Goths did not come from
Scandinavia; This is now refuted by the TV jounralist Arens who
expressed a different opinion in a recent broadcast." Nothing against
Arens, but you use your standard practice as usual: the experts who
disagree with you are nothing but little-known trouble makers, while
any lay-man is elevated to highest expert status if he happens to
agree with you. Science does not work like that. Read the real
literature first and than make an argument.
