It might be worthwhile at this point to mention that, according to the latest DNA evidence published only a couple years ago, unlike all other eye colors that have existed since the advent of Homo Sapiens hundreds of thousands of years ago, blue eyes have only been around for less than 10,000 years and appeared suddenly as if out of nowhere... and in one specific geographic area of the world: "the northwestern area of the Black Sea region."
If one looks at the provided map at the above hyperlink or observes any map of the Black Sea area, one quickly realizes that the "northwestern area" of the Black Sea is largely occupied by Romania... and Transylvania, in particular, the literal historical "homeland" of the "Vampire," reputed to be blue-eyed.
While Dr. Eiberg gives as his best scientific explanation the theory that blue eyes were the result of some sudden unexplained mutation, yet he also acknowledged in private email that such could also have occurred were a small group of blue-eyed individuals to have suddenly appeared in the area and begun to mate with the local females there.
This latter theory would well support the myriad legends amongst the Sumerians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Canaanites ... as well as the Mayan and Incan legends too, of blue-eyed, white or blond-haired men who appeared suddenly, taught Humankind the basics of civilization (e.g., art, science, agriculture, writing), married local females and had children by them, and later left.
