The predominant view today is they came from modern day Georgia/Armenian area across the Black Sea. That was my understanding at first as well. If you have modern research asserting differently, I would be open to reading it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not trying to start a shouting match, but maybe an actual reference or two supporting your blanket assertion instead of telling someone to "go read more" would be more helpful on a forum.
