摘　　要：The premise of the research paper is to decode the myth and revisit the fact in regard to the Egyptian link of the Roma communities through piecing together classical and modern documents,scholarly works,literature and books.The paper is a scholarly endeavour to navigate the historical alley of the Roma community and their emergence in Peloponnese.The research paper assumes the empirical and multidisciplinary approach to dealing with historical myth and alleged origin of the Roma people and responds to the narratives that deconstruct the notion of biblical versions and Egyptian legend.It critically analyzes mendacious premises and mythological rhetoric about Egyptian origin of Roma communities.The paper also addresses the argument premised upon Roma’s peripatetic lifestyle,fortune-telling vocation and their professions like bear keeping,animal training,sieve/basket making and jugglery.
