There is no trace of Semitic genes in Minoans or Northern Europeans. This is about LANGUAGE. There are black South Africans whose second language, and often first language, is Zuidafrikaans, a descendent of the Dutch language. I will bet that in most of them no Dutch genes will show up. Sorry, but I have the idea I am adressing the wrong person. I had hoped for a scientist to answer my questions, but alas.

Quote Hayim Y. Sheynin, adjunct professor of Jewish Literature at Gratz College, critically reviewed the work Europa Vasconica – Europa Semitica (2003) in which Vennemann laid out his arguments for the existence of a Semitic (or "Semitidic") superstratum in the Germanic languages. Sheynin concluded that Vennemann's arguments were unacceptable on several grounds. He noted that Vennemann based important parts of his main claim on long-outdated and critically rejected literature, that many of the words presented by Vennemann as evidence of an Atlantic (Semitidic) superstratum were nothing more than "mere ad hoc sound similarities" and that Vennemann's claims made in reference to Semitic range from "objectionable" to "ridiculous". In summary, Sheynin concludes "that [Vennemann] failed in this book not only as comparative linguist, or etymologist, but even in his narrow specialization as a Germanist.... In short, we consider the book a complete failure".[1] Quote The book was also reviewed by Baldi and Page (Lingua 116, 2006). They also were critical of his Germanic part of the theory. Since there are no Phoenician inscriptions in Britain, if traders visited the island, the Insular Celtic part of the theory depended on linguistic evidence. The 5th millennium is very early for Celtic-speakers in Britain, compared with other theories, and Mallory suggested a date of around 1000 BC. Vennemann's view of the establishment of megaliths is not supported by mainstream archaeologists, who view their construction as having a widespread local origin along Oceanic Europe or one that spread from Portugal long before the Bell Beaker or any possible Cardium culture influences from the Mediterranean. Eska (1994) argues that the change from verb-noninitial word order in Continental Celtic to verb-initial in Insular Celtic is internally motivated. Baldi and Page stated that the strength of Vennemann's proposals lies in his lexical arguments, which merited serious consideration. The origin of the Picts is unknown: see discussions by Jackson and by Wainright as well as those by Kitson and by Forsyth. Since about 2000, it has been generally held that Pictish is Celtic, and clear evidence of Pre-Indo-European elements is absent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abramelin Posted August 30, 2020 Author #1962 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) What I personally found quite amazing was this quote by Baldi and Page, especially the part about the homeland: "From about 5000 BC onward, Semitidic peoples, bearers of the megalithic culture, moved north along the Atlantic coast to all the islands and up the navigable rivers as seafaring colonizers, until they reached southern Sweden in the middle of the third millennium. ... At the dawn of history we find the western Mediterranean dominated by Phoenicians, a Semitic people. ... I assume the megalithic culture to have spread along the Atlantic coast from the south and west of the Iberian Peninsula and France (5th millennium) via Ireland and Britain (4th millennium) all the way to Sweden (3rd millennium) and thus to have its origin in the coastal regions between the western Mediterranean and the Atlantic, where I locate the homeland of the Semitic peoples.12" Edited August 30, 2020 by Abramelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
