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.

Well, that's the interesting thing about it, really. Keep in mind that the story of Romulus and Remus is probably not really Roman in origin either. It's almost certainly a retelling of a Greek myth, with some heavy Etruscan influences thrown in for good measure - the wolf was a symbol of the Etruscans well before the founding of Rome. And the Etruscans themselves drew heavily from the Greeks for their own mythology and culture - the Etruscan alphabet was based on Greek, IIRC - which was in turn passed down to the Romans.

And guess where the Etruscans are thought to have come from before settling on the Italian peninsula? Somewhere in the Eastern Mediterranean, possibly Asia Minor.

Even though the myths may seem wholly separate in time and place, there may be a deeper connection there than is apparent at first...

I was looking for maps showing ancient Turkic migration paths, but was unable so far. I found this one though, and it is pretty recent (see Russia? King Jacob?), but depicts the general area from which we sprung. I understand many of the words on the map, even though I am from thousands of miles to the west from there.

If you can come up with maps depicting political boundaries of the region from the era of the Gokturk empire and back, please forward me the links.
