Those people who left a trail of destroyed fortifications and general
disruption behind them in South Eastern Europe are assumed to have
spoken IE languages, because nothing on that scale is documented from
a later period, so if IE languages are intrusive in Europe, those
people most likely brought them here. Also, the timing of the
incursions matches generally that of the Kurgan hypothesis.
