You have to know that Romanians appears in the earliest documents as
sedentary and agricultory people, not as shepperds.

is hard to believe that groups of shepperds founded a sedentary
people. In fact is hard to believe that a migration would not leave
traces in the conscious of the ancestors of the Romanians or that any
kind of migration would lead to a peren a people in the absence of a
political-military organization.
