Reply to comment by torgoboi in How do countries that lack long, ancient histories and myths (or feel they lack it), or have lost all records of them, compensate for this loss or absence? Can these invented ancient myths become as "legitimate" as the truly old histories/myths of countries that have them? by raori921

I think you’re essentially correct. Being that we are a mongrel nation that has no clear ancestry beyond the 1600s, our long term mythology has to be borrow from the old world. I’m sure there are villiges in Romania with stories that go back millennia. Since people have been living there so damn long lol
