Iran... whence Cyrus once emerged...
I had a feeling just reading the title of this thread.
My next work will be published soon, there are about 60 inscriptions in Linear Gutian, we read some other ones, they belong to these ancient kings: Hutran-Temti, Indattu, Eparti, Shilhaha and Palar-Ishshan.
You are still using the same sources which were proved to be nonsense to you on not only this forum but elsewhere as well. This just screams of academic dishonesty. Where is your actual evidence. Provide your supporting evidence for Linear "Gutian".
Actually, nevermind. You can't provide the evidence because you source old work (which has been debunked) and misrepresentation and misinterpretation of current archaeogenetics to support your position.
I don’t know what you mean, my sources are recent works about this script, like the works of dr. Francois Desset, I met him at Tehran university and we discussed about this script for some hours, I have also contacted Michael Mäder who has also worked on this script, both of them have read my works.
I'm referring to your citation of the artifacts from Luristan and the perceived similarity to artifacts found in Scandinavia. You still haven't confirmed any connection between Gutians and Goths, and the genetic evidence that has been rolling in is pointing to a Scandinavian origin for the Goths. We've been over this, and yet you've misrepresented the data provided by Narasimhan et al, and others.
Let me be clear, I have no issue with some new fantastic discovery. I'm a skeptic and I appreciate evidence that is strong and reputable.
As a historian, the only thing which is important for me is the identification of dark spots in the history, it is really possible that Gutians and Goths were two different people but they had a similar culture and the similarity of their names relates to this similar culture, it is even possible that their names had different origins too, for example Irish and Iranian people have similar names and both of them have Indo-European culture but their names seem to have different origins.
Sure, that's the important thing to most historians, but misrepresenting genetic data to try and support ones theory is just bad practice. The Goths and Gutians are most certainly different people. I don't see the similarity in their names of which you speak. Gothic names (both Ostrogothic, Visigothic and Gepidic) are distinctly Germanic (only exception here would be those of some of the Gepid rulers, Giesmus, Mundus, etc have Turkic etymologies attributable to the Huns and Hunnic admixture).
What similarities in names are there between Irish and Iranian? Yeah, of course they are IE speaking people, outside of this shared linguistic ancestry their histories are quite divergent.
Do you have evidence that the names of Gutian leaders are actually etymologically Gothic?
I'm translating my work into English, for example about Gutian words in the bilingual inscription, look at my article about the etymology of some Gutian words in these inscriptions.Those words you cite are merely similar in "spelling" and are not a strong argument in your favour.
Unfortunately I cannot read Persian and I feel a large amount of potential review of your work by people outside of Iran is being missed without an alternate language translation of your articles.
So if your theory is correct then not only Germanics but R1b folks in general must have originated from Zagros region, Eastern Turkey. IMO with so little steppe admixture in Iberia I think R1b folks could very well be settlers from Southeastern Europe and not from Pontic steppe region(Yamnayans) and they could have migrated to Southeastern Europe from Zagros region, Eastern Turkey yet only in bronze age not later though.
