Anatolian Roots Seen for Indo-Europe Language TreeIndo-European languages, which include Greek, Latin, English and Sanskrit among many others, originated thousands of years ago but their roots have been hotly debated by experts. One theory is that nomadic Kurgan horsemen from the steppes of Asia started the spread of Indo-European languages about 6,000 years ago during their conquest of Europe and the Near East. But other experts believe it started in Anatolia, now in Turkey, and expanded with the spread of agriculture... David Searls of the Bioinformatics Division of GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals said Gray and Atkinson calibrated and cross-validated branchings of the language tree against known historical events.

In Search of Hurrian UrkeshWe know that Urkesh was... a real city as well. In 1948, two bronze lions appeared on the antiquities market; the lions are inscribed with a text in which a king by the name of Tish-atal boasts of having built a temple in Urkesh. But since the provenance of these lions is not known, the location of the city until recently was also unknown... Our excavations, however, have proved that Urkesh was located at the remote north Syrian site of Tell Mozan.

Mr. Crosby is a wealth of information. While at his home we were told of the many obscure items being found in the area such as stone tablets, weapons of a unique nature and giants' burial sites. We also we given a primer on the Mormon religion from a scientific aspect. Mr. Crosby wasn't attempting to convert us, instead he wanted to help us understand the complex pieces of information he had encountered and how there were many portions intersecting the Mormon beliefs.
Is their any culture, at any time, that didn't take their land by force?
The only group I can think of might be far northern Eskimos etc.
Yeah and the Martians were here too long before indigenous Indians.
There is a strain out there of peoples that want to misuse history for nationalistic reasons.
Erzurum is technically part of Armenia, IIRC. Maybe its a picture of an Armenian - they look Turkish!
The only group I can think of might be far northern Eskimos etc.
Some suggestions - Armenians, Kurds, Chinese, Basques, Egyptians, Berbers, Arabs in Arabia, Dravidic Indians, Australian Aborgines, Amerinds, Bushmen, Ethiopians, Picts, etc.
Then there are the cultures whose origin in their current land is probably not native, but whose arrival is lost in the mists of antiquity with no known record of violent conquest - Scandanaivans, Russians, Germans, Greeks, Ibero-Celts, Siberian Turks, Tibetans.
Finally, there are those who occupied vacated territories relatively peacefully following wars and migrations of other people, such as the Hungarians, Bulgarians, Poles, Czechs.
