The Romans immediately come to mind.

I'm not up on my Turkish folklore, but I've got to admit, you might be on to something there...

The myth I summed up is from a time long before our conquest of the Eastern Roman Empire, and from a land further to the east, namely central Asia. I don't know enough to speculate on any connection between us and Romus and Romulus, other than to say that they are from two seperate places and two seperate times.

The Chinese never made it to Asia Minor.. The Turks who conquered Anatolia were the Ouz Turks, who were the ones who wandered southeast following the period of the myth.

Also, no Kein and Abel mixed into this myth.
