 Scandza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jordanes names a multitude of tribes living in Scandza, which he named the Womb of nations, and they were taller and more ferocious than the Germans (archaeological evidence has shown the Scandinavians of the time were tall, probably due to their diet).
The listing represents several instances of the same people named twice, which was probably due to the gathering of information from diverse travellers and from Scandinavians arriving to join the Goths, such as Rodwulf from Bahusia.
Whereas linguists have been able to connect most names to regions in Scandinavia, there are others that oppose any identification.

What strange information Jordanes provided was correct (as far as it is possible to confirm it) and most of the tribes he mentioned can be identified.
I find it clear that it was based on accounts of travellers such as Rodwulf, instead.
Moreover, in what way is it relevant that contemporary people believed that the earth was flat???
