The origin of the German nation is obscure. For example, what language did they speak? The Weißenhorn Tablets provide linguistic evidence of a direct connection betweeen Weißenhorn on the south side of the Danube and Rhaetic farmers of the Po Valley in Italy, both of whom spoke Finnish. These in turn descend from Phrygian stockbreeders in Turkey, who in turn descend from Phrygian stockbreeders on the plains a few km north of Troy in Finland. According to Kalevala, the animal herders north of Troy were Lapps who had platinum hair, as do most inhabitants of Weißenhorn. The revolt against Roman occupation was initiated by the Alamani who had retreated to the north side of the Danube. Alamani is a Finnish phrase meaning 'at the foot of the pines', leading to the strong possibility that they descend from the Lapps of Finland. Greek history calls them Lapiths, cousins of the Kentauros, half men, half horse, another Finnish name meaning 'who ranches the prairie'.
