Jirov, Nikolai Fedorov

Nikolai Fedorov Jirov was a Russian historian who held the view that the Sumerians had migrated to the Balkans and unconvincingly put forward the Tartartia Tablets^(a), found in Romania, as evidence of this. He was also the author of a 1967 book, Atlantis, in which he located Plato’s island in the Azores and he also wrote the preface to Roberto Pinotti’s book, Atlantide ^[509].

However, there is a persistent claim that the Sumerians are related to the Hungarians, located just north of the Balkans! ^(b)(c)(d)
