"They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today."
Declaration of Arbroath, 1320.
He also claimed that ancient Britons laid seige to Rome.
Pretty funny how his bullshit survived and was repeated through the centuries.
[Spoilsport geologists dispute this story with their pesky "facts" ;-)]
Mind you the Declaration is a great document - proclaiming Scottish freedom and saying that while Robert the Bruce is a cool guy if he doesn't turn out to be a good king then he'll be sacked and another one found from somewhere. Which is a fairly novel idea for kings.
"Nemed, ... was the son of Agnoman of Scythia..."
Probably a coincidence though as the timescales won't match up but fascinating to even consider that there was some historical truth behind those old myths.
If there really was such a thing, it might explain a lot of these stories.
He makes the argument that in the later Roman Empire, the Huns treated the Roman Empire as either a vassal or a buffer state to their own empire. They demanded tribute from them and even forced the romans to chase down and return refugees. It's really interesting to look at the Roman Empire from a hun-centered point of view-- just one more border state along a small section of a vast empire.
They seem to have been one of a long series of steppe empires with the same basic organization-- from the Scythians to the Mongols.
