Re: Etruscans

Great !

Now,

as far as this paper is concerned,

I think a better title could have been :

"a philological review of some toponyms of north-west Anatolia"

The title "the homeland of Etruscans" is absurd.

And I don't understand why some people keep thinking

things are not what they are and peoples should always come from

some other unknown place.

Etruscans are just Etruscans

and they originate in the place where they are known to live.

And this needs no further explanation at all.

I agree with you on the PIE homeland.

Yea

I read this

This paper does not even contain a single Etruscan word

being compared to whatever else.

And I disagree that Anatolian is not native to Asia Minor

The place where Beekes puts Etruscans is PIE homeland.

Rubbish.
