Indoeuropean Origin 
Ancient Goths
Der Autor der beiden Blogs Indoeuropean Origins und Ancient Goths macht sich Gedanken über den Ursprung der Indoeuropäer und  über Verbindungen zwischen dem Himalayagebiet und Europa. Die Blogs enthalten viele interessante Bilder und Videos.
Zu seinem Ancient Goths-Blog sagt er:

Main purposes for making this Blog is to learn more about:

1) If the first Scandinavian Goths, Geats or Gotan might have come from Southern Asia before Common Era, in particular from the Himalayan areas of Pakistan and India, such as in and near Kashmir and Jammu, Himachal Pradesh and other areas along the fringe of Himalaya. People that later migrated towards the coastal areas of present Pakistan and India and from where there were sent Buddhist missions to for instance Greece and Rome. From these locations Asian people might have come to northern Europe and merged with the indigenous people of different areas, for instance with the Nordic Laplanders. Both Lapland and Gottia & Dacia were located on a map from about the second century AD (Ptolemy). An Asian origin of the first Nordic Goths is supported by many archaeological findings. Many Iron Age and Medieval period items and ornaments seem related to early Buddhism in Asia. There are a few remaining texts that is supportive of the Nordic Goths – Asian connection, there are people of old Nordic origin that have genetic connections to Asia.

2) Did the ancient Scandinavian Goths practice an early version of Buddhism?

3) Might there have been at least two influxes of Asian people to the Nordic areas? One early migration with seafaring people with the ancient Goths and a much later influx of people from Southern Central Asia via the Central Asian steppes, the Volga River and to Scandinavia via Finland.
