Does anyone know the origin of gypsies?

One view is that the hometown of gypsies is in Egypt, and the English word "gypsy" means "from Egypt". This mainly comes from two folklore. One is that in the first century A.D., the rulers of the Roman Empire decided to crucify Jesus and ordered the Egyptian blacksmith to make nails in order to completely eliminate Christianity. The blacksmith refused to obey, and the Roman ruler was angry and ordered him to be deported. As a result, a large number of people who believed in Christianity and sympathized with Jesus left Egypt with the blacksmith and lived in a foreign land. They are the ancestors of gypsies. In addition, according to French records, in the winter of 1427, some gypsies came to Paris. They claimed that their ancestral home was in Egypt and originally believed in Christianity. Later, because of the Arab invasion, he was forced to convert to Islam. This behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of powerful Christians in Europe at that time, thinking that it was a betrayal of God. After consulting with European rulers, it was decided that Gypsies were not allowed to own land in China, and they were ordered to make a pilgrimage to Rome to pray for forgiveness unless they were approved by the Pope. Later, the Pope asked them to wander in Europe for seven years and not to stay in bed on the way to show their piety and repentance to God. Since then, the gypsies who lost their homes have once again left their foothold and lived a wandering life without a fixed place.

An influential academic view holds that Gypsies are from India. German scholars Rudiger, Grellmann and British scholar Brian found that many words in Gypsy dialect are very similar to Indian Sanskrit and Hindi, and the ancestors of Gypsies probably lived in India. Later, scholars further studied the social system, cultural customs and lifestyle of Gypsies, and found that they were very similar to the Dom people who lived in India earlier. For example, they all make a living by performing arts and have no fixed occupation; Most people are good at singing and dancing, proficient in divination and making metal utensils. Also, the bellows they use are exactly the same. They are all made of leather and blow with their feet. From this, it can be concluded that the Gypsies should be the descendants of Dom, but it is not clear why they have moved away from home and wandered around the world.
