This was such a fun read! My community is spread across different parts of Western and Southern India, which has given me a mixed ancestry. Tracing my ancestral roots has always interested me. I'm fascinated by how geopolitics shaped the journeys of migrating communities and how they adapted to new lands, integrating local languages, cuisines, traditions, and rituals into their own cultures. What I loved the most, though, was your comparison of your father's world to Da Vinci’s!
The writing itself is still speculative and tentative based on some of the basic internet search. But I would be so curious to know the actual story based on scientific literature or historical texts if any.
I would definitely dig in more if I had the time and resources in the future.
