Pleasgians:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelasgians

"Modern theories about Pelasgians are sometimes colored by myths of
national origin, notably (in alphabetical order) Albania, Greece and
Turkey. Popularizations tend to be more colorful."

http://www.illyrians.org/etruscanmistery.html

"The definite proof of the oriental origin of the Etruscans is that a hero
of great significance is Tarchon. He is clearly
the Stormgod Tarhun, the highest god of the Luwians and Hittites. In any
case Tarchon had the power to ward off lightnings;
the Anatolian Tarhunt was the god of lightning."

Tarhun sounds like Skt Varuna representing rain.
