Wakey, wakey. Torsten. This forum concerns the subject of
IndoEuropean where the concept of "nations" had not been invented
at this prehistoric point of time. This is the correct context in
which you should interpret my quote. I'll be more specific for
you: Modern nationalism has no place in the proper study of
prehistory when nations and nationalism did not exist.
