I would think that to be a relatively rare misconception. It's my impression that it's generally known that ancient peoples migrated, and quite frequently.
In the context of the history lesson I recently received from Mr Carlin, which provoked some of this discussion of the steppe peoples, that was a key feature to his talk. They moved and they moved a lot.
