Ionian and Dorian are simple labels used to categorise societies, not to say relationship between Greeks and Tamils or IVC.
BUT, when we look at what we know of IVC we do not see temples or palaces. We do not even know of any royal family whatsoever.
So, why so different to the Sumerian and...
So don't feel guilty about exploiting this "bounty."
Lovely conclusion from an affiliate of the Dow Jones :)
In the mean time, moving away from carbon seems to be best for the environment.
I wrote those words on August 23 2024 and was in reponse to a different discussion.
"White-washing" I use to refer to the dominance of one group over another, a sign of patriarchal or Dorian type mentality.
This is in contrast to Ionian type mentality.
The term Hydra was used...
The problem with oil is that only a few nations are blessed with it. The problem with scientists is that they are looking for "new" technology, ideally the holy grail of cold fusion. This is mostly driven by the search for knowledge of course but we would also kidding ourselves if there wasn't a...
Nah. If we need to we can switch to a hydrogen economy, and any country can make their own hydrogen as long as they have water and electricity.
Personally, I think the massive Line project is an excuse for the Saudis to move from oil to hydrogen, they will pump water from the Red Sea and the...
Negative emotions cloud judgement, even if a point is being made.
Those are my words written in English.
I also don't speak Tamil except for very basic or "market" conversation, nor write it, but I can understand the sounds of letter and add them phonetically.
All family is all family. Yes...
Hi @River Sea
I have no idea who the Karnali people are, but I would be very, very, sceptical of drawing genetic connections in this way.
The map area also overlaps with the area where Kurukh, which is a Dravidian language, is spoken.

You keep dancing around the points that you make, but decline to reduce them to form any sort of connection. As you say
(1) Language is spread by trade
(2) Sumer traded with the Indus Valley Civilization
(3) Sumer is the root language for the Middle East
I then say
(4) Evidence points to...
Written language? You understand this is completely different to language that was spoken yes? Most scholars consider the IVC script to be "Proto-Dravidian".
So Sumerian could indeed be the root to both the Indus language and Hebrew, so how do you conclude that Tamil cannot be connected to...
Another article by the same author is also a good read, which I suggest to read in tandem.

Once again I am confused at your statements. You said -
(1) Tamil is the root of the Indus Valley - by this I interpret you agree that this could date this language up to 3000BCE
(2) Language is spread by trade - You did not deny evidence that suggests the Mesopotamian civilizations such as...
As there was mention of the significance of numbers in another thread, I will attempt to provide the same for the Tamil language.
The first letter, ஃ which I call the God letter, stands alone. It is special because its presence can be both hidden and obvious, representing neither a vowel or...
Ok.
So IF the translation are indeed more than a coincidence, then there could be a better explanation than the 4.2ky event?
Sure, I can accept that. As we know the Indus Valley traded with Mesopotamia, in the 3rd millennium.
If there is a better explanation for the meaning of Peleg and...
Obviously my opinion, for the patriarchs to descend on the left and add “God’s presence” on the right.
3 + 2 + 2 on the left, 2,1,2 on the right. A.
3 + 2 on the left, 2,1,1*,2 on the right. I.
3 on the left, 2,1,1,1*,2 on the right. Y/J.
I am confused as to what you are either concluding or refuting.
Are you saying there is no value in examining a Tamil-Hebrew connection using the scriptures as context?
It appears you acknowledge Tamil being the root of the Indus Valley, and also that language is spread via trade, BUT then...
I referred to makkal in comment #4 I provide it here for you
The Tamil word for daughter is மகள் (magal), but adding the special letter ஃ into daughter மகள் becomes மஃகள் (makkal) meaning all humans.
Some could interpret this as saying we are all God's children, but in Tamil the meaning is...
As this pertains to my interest, can you explain more about what you mean by "oldest" and which "region" you are talking about?
If the Hebrew scriptures have words that are connected phonetically to words in another language I believe this is important (in general, not for any specific...
This is your opinion yes? Your belief is yours friend.
How did you express your belief? With words. Language is the only unifier, and this is the center of the Tamil language.
This does not mean Tamil language is "first" or "best", no, it specifically says that we are human family, makkal...
