Re: [tied] Hathor

Actually, Glen, I like the flow, and the general scenario you offer, but for
one little omission:
All ancient chroniclers even attempting to address the flow of things you
discuss from c. 6000 BCE through the c. 800 BCE movement of the Etruscan
immigrants to Italy, clearly and directly also refer to the Tryyhenian as
earlier than new people who brought the BA..and repopulated the Aegean...the
Pelasgian. Suggesting a single influence as one continuous flow over five+
millennia is a flaw (IMO). Even if you can linguistically justify some
Tyrrhenian substrate remaining at the Etruscan movement date, it is no
longer descriptive..hence my problem with your name. (No ire, even thought
it is the last three letters of my name :-) My argument (now) It is not
that Tyrrhenian did not exist, nor even that it could not have influenced
NA, Crete, and Egypt..and the rest of the eastern Med; but that this
influence had been replaced by new influences (clearly outlined in the
evidence) and no longer applied to people moving c. 800 BCE.
