The Gods Descend
A recent doctoral dissertation has established that three well known Balkan Neolithic cultures are Anatolian: the Vinča, the Sopot, and the Lengyel. This turn of events means a Steppe origin of the Greek language is now virtually impossible. And these Anatolians probably spoke an Indo-European language themselves more than a thousand years before the Yamna invaded Central and Eastern Europe from the Steppes.
It was here that we Anatolians rocked the world for the first time. We invented metallurgy. Most importantly, our observations of the heavens - and our speculations about their movements - laid the foundation for future Greek philosophy, and even monotheism. The shocking product of those speculations?
The wheel.
I also talk about the psychological mechanism you know as "projection." Typically projection is viewed as a pathology. But as these Balkan Anatolians have shown us, projection is a beautiful thing. When done right.
