Interesting as that is the first I hear of such claim. What sources do you refer to when obtaining this information? If you could please respond with links or where to find sources that support your claim, it would be much appreciated.

Here are just a few sources, from scholars, who claim it to be true. I have many more sources I have read through if you would like more sources. Thank you.
