I think there are records of human civilizations in Central Asia dating back about
30,000 years. I posted about that little carving with the guy pointing to heavens
in a special pose before. There is a 3D version of that; a little statuette from Anatolia
around the time of Hittites. It can be seen in the book by Queen or McQueen
on the Hittites.

Strangely enough, apparently earlier thought was that the Hurrians actually
came from the east of the Caspian, and perhaps from further afar. Now it is said that they
were Caucasians.  I wonder now which is true.

Given that some version of Hurrian seems to have been the language of
the world's first farmers, I wonder if this came from this source
into the later language of Turkish....

Thoughts anyone?

Regards

John
