Anyway, back to the point. If what he said were true, then Peter Crouch is obviously not English. Why? Because I know for a fact that there is at least one person not 6'7" in England, with Churchill being 5'6". Therefore if the statement is true, one of them must not be English, and all English males up to 3200 years before now must have been of an identical height and hair colour.

Oh, and by the way, just as an example, there was a Scandinavian known as Erik the RED due to his hair colour. Using Hannibal's logic I therefore must deduce that all Scandinavians must have red hair, wear wigs or dye their hair.

EDIT: oh, and by the way, it is impossible to be 20% Russian. You can be close, but not 20%.

who is hannibal? has someone changed their name

It was an estimate, really.

Well could it be possible he could have had ancestors of Celtic or other red headed origin?

For what it's worth the ancient greeks had contacts with a lot of people. Such as Troy being in modren Turkey for example. But I seem to remember a historic account of a persian scholar who travled to Khazar. He discribed the people there to be light skinned and a mix of blond and red haired. Also.. I believe the Egyptians also had some contact with the Kazars and had also noted that the people had red hair. (red was the color of Set. The devil, this made the Khazars a bit more mystical to them.)
