Re: [tied] Re: Dravidian in Persia?

Dear Piotr,

   Thank you for as good an explanation as a historian could expect. Could you provide an opininion as to dating. Third millenium would sound right to me from a historical perspective, assuming that the Dravidian nomads were not the Harappans, in which case I would assume fourth millenium.

  Would I be correct in assuming that even if the Elamo-Dravidians of Khusistan were part of the larger urban Uruk culture that they would not have gained enough knowledge of that civilization to independently establish an urban civilization of their own after several generations of wandering through the mountains and deserts of southern Iran?

   I realize that this thread is getting away from IE and will cease and desist further postings on this topic if you wish.
