There is also the issue if all the sites are correctly labeled and based on what I have seen in many cases I doubt it.

The Egyptian Dynasties had diverse origins. E.g. the Hyksos for example, according to the more modern mainstream view are supposed to have been Semitic although imho they had a Semitic element and a Aegean / Greek-related element. They also had horses and chariots but they are clearly...

A Greek politician, doctor, and former basketball player has the surname Kikilias which imho is somehow related to plebeian gens Caecilia. Coincidentally his mother is a professor of Latin.

I wasn't paying attention when they published it. I'm posting a comment I made on the 'CLV cline' on YT: Ridiculous Some of the linguists, anthropologists and whatnot they cite have speculated that Maykop could have been NW Caucasian. Even if Yamnaya and Sredny Stog were PIE a movement from...

Quite bad and useless. Better just list the samples.

I am a native Greek speaker and I am not pro-Albanian at all on most issues. The truth is you don't know anything on the subject. The only thing you can do is parrot things other people have said so I will ignore you from now on.

Can you make a list of the Albanian maritime termsyou have in mind? Then we can compare it with what happens in a well attested language.

In modern Greek we use many Romance maritime terms too. I think most of them are non-Greek. That must mean Ancient Greeks didn't have a navy. Also the word for the meaning 'home' is from Latin. That must mean we didn't have homes either. The argument 'Albanian doesn't have native maritime...

Arvanites and Vlachs kept their languages and identities until recently. Assimilated early Slavs are more likely to have made an impact but not necessarily that big. Those who have Arvanite ancestry usually know it. E.g. my father is from Epirus and as far as I know we don't have known...

Most of the colors in Von Luschan scale don't really exist.

I have seen red ochre even in Paleolithic Cyclades. But they should consider it was used as body paint. There are neolithic figurines with red painted patterns. I assume scholars think they were decorative but in my opinion they may point to the use of body paint.

I have evidence (internal evidence from the script itself) that those who created Linear B (and thus probably Linear A) were speaking an IE language. Not Greek though. For example 'wheel' could have been something like 'kaklas', 'kakra' etc. Theoretically dialects of Greek had retained the so...

This is Spanish science. At least Ancient Greeks believed Nubians were good-looking though. Our gods liked them too.

The Croatian translation is a bad translation. I will not post about it again because I don't really care. First of all you should take into account why the term white was used. If it referred to cardinal directions, which is what makes the most sense, 'White Croatia' could have meant either...

Ok. This is almost true. I did not remember it. The river is called Visla in the text. Also the Zachlumi do not appear as Croats proper. He says: The are 'Serbloi'. The source you use is weird because it changes the names. The names should be transcribed as they are. And then attempt to...

You can believe whatever you want but the statement 'DAI clearly says that the rurler of Zachlumia is from the Vistula' seems false to me. What is your source?

I have read it many times. Maybe they had something to do with the Prague culture. A more eastern location for the population of the origin myth is incompatible with the source in my opinion. Maybe there were 'Eastern Croats' too but that doesn't mean that they were the ones who moved to...

If we follow the Greek sources, the Croats who moved to Croatia were probably from the N/NW of modern day Croatia, 'near Bavaria'. Maybe north of Bavaria.

Can you use Sorbs as one source and different southeastern populations as another one?

My personal view is there was at least one Anatolian-related IE language (which is something some scholars have supported at least) and there are some toponyms and theonyms that can be explained as descending from a third language, more closely related to 'nuclear IE' but different from Greek...
