Also I have an idea, with what I've read from this author that he is some sort more a "charlatan" linguistic than a real one.
Absolutely. The guy in question wrote a bizarre book with the title "The Albanian Origins of Sardinian Civilization", and it's complete nonsense. I don't really have the time right now to address this issue in detail (because saying that some
apparent cognates are in fact not what they seem, but explaining why and how the
entire methodology is completely flawed takes a bit longer), but I'll get back to this in time.
I'll say a few more words regarding ancient Sardinia however (which really don't belong here since the topic, no matter how interesting,
has absolutely nothing to do with Albania or the Albanian language): from the archaeological perspective, Sardinia was part of the Beaker-Bell Culture (late 3rd millennium BC) which during the Copper Age / early Bronze Age encompassed much of Western Europe (as well as parts of Scandinavia and North Africa), and which also included Sardinia.
During the Bronze Age, Sardinia was home to the so-called Nuraghic civilization/culture, which built it's distinct towers all over the island. There existed similar cultures on Corsica (Torrean culture) and the Balearic Isles (Talayotic culture), which were possibly related.
There is a
possible connection between the name
"Sardinia" and the
"Sherden" or "Shardana", one of the ethnic names of the Sea Peoples as they were recorded in Egyptian sources in the 13th century BC.
From approximately the 8th century onward or so, Sardinia got under the influence of the Phoenicians, who established trade posts along the island's coasts, until the island was conquered by the Romans in the wake of the Punic Wars (3rd century BC).
In a nutshell, 2000 years of prehistory and no evidence of any connection with the Balkans.
