>I'm sorry. I thought the Mediterranean was a sea.
Very good, Torsten. You're learning... barely. Now I already said that the
IE did not live on the sea.
>Repeat: the Don is a wide and quiet river.
If I come from Egypt to Crete to trade my goods, do you honestly think
that I'm going to home-deliver up the Don??? Because that's what you're
saying. No, I'm gonna head on back to Egypt and let somebody else
transfer the goods up the Don. As soon as I've traded my goods for
what I need, I don't care where they end up. I've got my stuff. I'm
happy. Somebody else is going to profit for themselves by trading what
were my goods for what _they_ need. That's how a trading network
works.
>No, it involves some people sailing on the Don.
Yes, it does. They are the linguistic "intermediaries". They are not the
three wise men from afar. They are local traders.
