John,
 
Histories of Europe and books about its Christianisation can be found in any library. Why learn it from an obscure Internet source that distorts the facts and interprets them according to an eccentric conspiracy theory? Hindu Europe, Gentile Hellenes, Justinian-Jutprada (what an interesting linguistic effect!), oh dear... The whole matter is OT and I'd be obliged if the thread were dropped as soon as possible.

When I received the email from Indian Civilization I thought it interesting enough concerning the history of Europe that it would not hurt to pass it along to my  friends who might find it interesting.  There may indeed be errors in the chronology or the facts presented, I have not read nor tried to document independently the original work.

Language must always be studied in historical context.  This is the first work that I have seen on the subject of the Christianization of Europe.  I suspect that there were some effects on the language because of this historical process.

Notation of Julian's assassination surprised me also. Does anyone have an original source that would confirm or refute this assertion?
