Definitely incoherent --Altai Turks are from the Altay
Mountains, 1,000s of miles east of the Urals.
Horses came from the steppe, not from India, so any
horse rituals would have originated in the steppes or
after IA enered India from the steppes with horses.
Dravidian probably received horses via contact with IA
speakers.
I don't recall anyone on the list making claims about
Aryan myths and stories arising in Turkish or
Dravidians being from the Urals.
Who made such claims? You?
