We know from some troublesome verses in the Illiad,
that these verses must have been composed in an archaic form of Greek
where the problem did not exist, but was later created because Greek
evolved.
I remember a andraphontos which versifies properly as nr-phontos
(nr-hantas) otherwise there's one step too many.

If the Rg Veda does not pose that kind of problem,
then it means Rg Veda datation and Sanscrit datation must be the same.
I have no idea if there is any such versification problem in Rg Veda or not.

Ok
you did not write what you wrote.
I let the community assess what kind of man you are.

What's the point of building forts when you are an indo-iranian nomad ?
I guess the first fort around Urals was built by the Russians after 1540 AD.

What is the relationship between "highly intellectual" and "fort building" ?
Cave-men were highly intellectual and they survived to make us what we are.

No
One of my friends is an archeologist.
Before say -10 000 in Europe, because there were few trees,
hunting could be made with rough spears projected against a compact herd,
you are very likely to hit one piece,
After that, because of forests, Europeans had to adjust and they started
using arrows,
because you need precision among the trees,
There is no need for a _diffusionist_ theory,
Environmental pressure explains all.

I have made a study about the names for arrows and bows
and It clearly shows there is no indication for a wanderword for
"arrow/bow".
Most words are local inventions.

Can't you feel the tremendous contradiction between :
S1 : the flood myth was prevalent in **more than 300** cultures.
and
S2 : the biblical flood story **obviously** has an indic origin

Any of the more than 300 cultures can made that obvious claim.

I suppose Hebrews could their flood story from either Mesopotamia or Egypt
where they have floods half the year.
