Dear Ari Akkermans and friends,

Dear Polat KayaPlease see inline comments.they learned from the nativeTurkish-speaking Turanians all the culture that has been falsely attributed toGreeks. When Greeks arrived, they found that the native Turkish-speakingTuranians were living in castles built on mountaintops. The nativeTuranians were able to build so-called "Cyclopian" walls in theirancient lands which are still standing as part of later buildings in Greece.Only then did the wandering Greeks start to emulate what they learnedfrom those ancient Turanians.Ari Akkermans: Do you happen to have an idea on theethnic background of the earliest Greeks and theorigin of their traditions based on the differentmythological traditions? The subject is too complex toelaborate, I would recommend some serious reading ofW. Otto, K. Jung and K. Kerenyi or much better, a fewclasses of Greek pre-history at a Classics Seminar ofany respectable and science-oriented university.
Polat Kaya: Western books on the ancient
so-called "Greece" talk about the ancient Greeks as wanderers who had
nothing valuable of their own. They were barbaric and destructive wherever they
went. They first destroyed the cities and the civilizations of the native
peoples (Turanians), and then built on it what they learned from the Turanians.
Thus the destroyed civilization disappeared and what became visible was called
Greek. The wandering Semitic Akkadians also did the same thing in
the ancient Middle East. The western writers of ancient history
falsely dump together the Ionians (AY-HANS), the Dorians and
Achaeans (ACHAYWA, ACHAIOI) and call them all Greek but they were
not all Greek. Prof. H. D. F. Kitto, Professor of Greek at the University
of Bristol, [H. D. F. Kitto, "The Greeks", Penguin Books, 1957, p.24]
writes:
"But they all fell, and the
decaying Mycenaean Age came to an end, at the end of the twelfth. Other
conquerors, the Dorians, came down from north-central Greece, this time not
successful adventurers seizing or harrying small kingdoms, but destroying flood
of men, making a sudden end of a long civilization, and beginning a Dark Age,
three centuries of chaos, after which Classical Greece begins to emerge.
The Ionians have taken refuge across the sea (except the Athenians), the
name "Achaea" is confined to the narrow plain along the southern
coast of the Gulf of Corinth, and the "brown-haired Dorians, if they were
also of this colour - have been absorbed into the dark-haired type which Greece
produces, much as the fair-haired Celts of Gaul became dark Frenchmen."
More from Kitto [p.
15]:
"The latter Greeks themselves
believed in an original non-Hellenic population which they called
"pelasgian, remnants of which still remained pure in classical times,
speaking their own language. Heredotus, who was interested in nearly
everything that came to his notice, was interested in the origin of the Greeks;
and of the two main branches of the later Greek people, the Ionians and the
Dorians, he asserts the Ionians were Pelasgian by descent. indeed in
distinction to the Ionians he calls the Dorians 'Hellenic'. He goes on to
say 'What language the Pelasgians used I cannot say for certain, but if I may
conjecture from those Pelasgians who still exist . . . they spoke a barbarian
language' - meaning by 'barbarian' no more than 'non-Hellenic'.
This tallies well enough with what we have conjectured about the Athenians, for
they claimed to be the leaders and the metropolis of the Ionian Greeks, and
they also claimed to be indigeneous."
Polat Kaya: I want
to dwell on this statement a bit more although it is fairly self explanatory.
First of all Ionians and Greeks were not the same people. Ionians
were the ancient Turanian "AY-HANS" and were Pelasgians, a Turkic
name restructured from Turkish "BAL SAKA" meaning "honey
producing Saka people". SAKA people are known to be Turkish people.
Their remnants are still in Siberia under the name of SAKA Republic (old
Yakutistan). the name "Pelasgians" also appear in the writings of
Homer and he recalls them as "The Noble Pelasgians".
Secondly it is
curious that this historian "Herodotus", who was so interested in
everyones' background, somehow forgot to ask to those Pelasgians, whom he knew
well, what language they were speaking and what it was called! There is
something fishy going on here. Somebody is hiding something!
The supposedly
Greek name HERODOTUS, when rearranged letter-by-letter as
"TOROHSUDE", contains the Turkish word "TOROHCUDE"
(TARIHCIDI) meaning "he is historian". Now everyone knows that
Herodotus was a "historian" and supposedly a "Greek
historian". However this Turkish correspondence does not define
HERODOTUS as a proper name but rather as a "profession" which fits
the actual profession of Herodotus. This implies that he was probably a
'historian' but he may not necessarily been "Greek". He could have
been any well-known historian of the time - but not necessarily Greek.
Additionally the
rearranged form "TOROHSUDE" of the name "HERODOTUS" can
also be read as "TOROHCUDE" (TURUKCUDI, TÜRKCÜDI) meaning "he
was a historian of Turuk (Turk) peoples", that is, someone whose studies
are related to TOROH (TURUK, TURK) peoples. All this is very enlightening
and questions the authenticity of the "Greek" identity of Herodotus.
Could it be that we have all been conned again even in this name? Could it be
that an ancient historian of Turk/Turuk peoples has also been usurped as
"Greek". Students of the ancient world out there have to be
questioning the true identity of this ancient "historian".
Prof. Kitto writes:
[Kitto, p. 15]. "An indigeneous non-Hellenic race inhabited Attica and the
Peloponnese. At some time that cannot be determined Greek-speaking
peoples from further north migrated into this region - no doubt very gradually
- and imposed their language on them, much as the Saxons did in on England.
This was not a sudden, catastrophic invasion: the archaeological records
show no sudden break in culture before the Dorian invasion of about 1100
. Pelasgian 'pockets' which escaped the influence of these incomers
continued to speak a language unintelligible to Herodotus."
"Herodotus, an avid and
not uncritical inquirer, regarded the Ionian Greeks as a "barbarian"
people who had been Hellenized." [Kitto, p. 19]
Prof. Kitto writes
[Kitto, p. 14]: "Athena is non-Greek, and there is some reason to think that
she and her people are also pre-Greek, which is a different thing."
The city name of
Athens is after the goddess Athena. The Greek version of the name Athens is given as "ATHINAI" or simply "AI" [Divry's English-to-Greek
Dictionary, p. 31, 399]. First of all the name "AI" is nothing but the Turkish name"AY" meaning the "moon".
So, the city of Athens must have been built after the ancient Turanian Moon-God "AY-HAN". This makes sense because Athena was the goddess of "ION-IANS", a name that
embodies the Turkish word "AY". Inother words, IONIANS were the
believers of the Turkish "AY-HAN", that is, the Moon Lord. This
information also implies that, in one meaning, the goddess Athena must have been a personification of the
"moon deity".
Additionally, the
name ATHINAI, i.e., Athens, is an embodiment of the Turkish
expression "ATHIN AI" (ADIN AY) meaning "your name is
'moon'". Thus the names ATHENA and ATHINAI (Athens) are not Greek in origin but
rather is pure Turkish taken from the ancient Turanians by the infiltrating and
invading Greeks. Prof. Kitto is also saying that Athena is non-Greek. So
they even usurped the name of Turkish "Moon-God" and made it a
"Greek" goddess. A similar situation was being played by the
Akkadians in the Middle East where the Turko-Sumerian pantheon was
usurped. Akkadians were also wanderers who had nothing of their own and
had been protected under the wings of Turko-Sumerians first before they
destroyed the Sumerians. The Hazar and Ottoman Turks also took some of
their kins under their protective umberalla for centuries.
Mythology states
that Athena was the daughter of Zeus. I have already written a lengthy article
on the Turkic identity of Zeus. First of all Zeus is said to be from
DODONA, a Pelasgian oracle. Secondly, the name ZEUS is a composite name
personifying many concepts expressed in Turkish. ZEUS was the personification of Turkish "AZ-SU" meaning "peerless
water", "AZ US" meaning "peerless
wisdom", "AZ AYAS" (ZIYAS) meaning "peerless
light", "SÖZ" meaning "word, speech,
language", "SES" meaning "voice", "AZ AUS" meaning "peerless mouth"
and of course Turkish "AZ OGUZ" meaning "Peerless OGUZ" - the
name of the ancient Turanian Sky-God. Zeus personifying the "mouth"
and also the "word"and "athena" mythologically coming out
of his head in a fully grown up and embellished manner indicates that the word
"ATHINAI" was also a personification of a special word. Words
do come out of the "AGUZ" (mouth) fully grown. Thus Zeus and
Athena and Artemiz (and many other so-called "Greek" mythological
names) were personifications of different concepts expressed and named in
Turkish. They were not Greek. Please see my paper on ZEUS and his
daughters called "Muses".
Prof. Kitto, while
writing about the country life of "ancient Greece", writes:
"Of specialized trades we hear of
only two, the trades of the smith and the potter. These were
"DEMIOURGOI", 'men who work for the populace', not themselves
consuming the product of their own toil. The demiourgos is the craftsman:
in Plato, the Creator: hence Demirurge in Shelley's Prometheus Unbound.
It is interesting to notice that these two are the only crafts which, in
Greek, have divine exponents. Hephaestus (Vulcan) the smith, and
Prometheus, also a fire-god, but in Attic cult the god of the potters." [Kitto, p.
40-41].
Polat Kaya: In
the Greek mythology, Hephaestus is known to be a master craftsman capable
of doing all kinds of things masterfully. Among many things, he was the
designer and the maker of Pandora the first model of woman, he was the
maker of the armory of Achilles in the Trojan wars, and also the maker of
an iron net designed to catch Aphrodite, his wife, in a deceit. In the
Ares and Aphrodite story, the iron net that he built was so light and fine that
Ares and Aphrodite could not see it and hence they were caught in it in the
act. This indicates that Hephaestus was the personification of an "iron
and/or metal worker". But the "ironworker" or "metal
worker" is called in Turkish by the name "DEMIRGI" meaning "he who works with iron or
metals" or "iron smith" or "metal smith". Now, for the
attention of all linguists, this Turkish word appearing in the form of "DEMIOURGOI" in the ancient Greek language
of the first millennium B. C.( at least 3,000 years old) and also in the form of "DEMIURGE" in the work of Shelley cannot be due to
coincidence.
When the term "DEMIOURGOI" is rearranged letter-by-letter as "DEMIRGI-OUO", it is found to be a restructured form of
the Turkish expression "DEMIRGI OYU"
(DEMIRGI ÖYÜ) meaning "home of
ironsmith" or the "shop of ironsmith", i.e., a place where
the DEMIRGI works. Note here that the Turkish word ÖYÜ has been simply
used as "linguistic wrapping" to hide the Turkish word DEMIR and DEMIRGI - meaning "iron" and
"ironsmith" respectively. These words, which are older than three
thousand years, are still the same in Turkish today.
The name HEPHAESTUS, when rearranged letter-by-letter as "HEP-SHE-USTA" where the P is also an
"R" in the Greek alphabet, reveals the Turkish expression "HEP SEYE USTA" or "HER SEYE USTA" meaning
"mastercraftsman of all things". Indeed in Greek mythology, he
is known as the master craftsman for all things. Even here, the name HEPHAESTUShas preserved these Turkish words "HEP"
(all), "HER" ("every"), "ShEYE" ("to
things"), and "USTA" ("master", "craftsman"
or "smith) which were older than 3000 years old.
Mythologically, Aphrodite was the wife of Hephaestus. The name "APHRODITE", when rearranged letter-by-letter as"APHROD-ITE" or "APHROT-IDE", reveals the Turkish expression "AVRAT IDI" meaning she was the
wife", "she was the woman", "she was the lover woman".
This is what Aphrodite is known to be. This exact Turkish
correspondence with a name that appears in the writings of Homer cannot be
attributed to coincidence. What it means is that Turkish was the world
language at the time of Homer and that the Turkish words AVRAT and IDI were older than 3,000 years old.
They are still the same today.
So all of these are
not coincidences but are evidences of the presence of Turkish throughout the
so-called ancient "Greek" world. You must note that these three
thousand plus year old Turkish words have not changed a bit during these many
years. Thus saying that languages change automatically in time is a falsehood
and is a cover up to do some artificial altering by some clever
linguists. The linguists have to take note of these evidences and
accordingly clean up their own linguistic shops. I can give you many more
Turkish words existing in the ancient "Greek" mythological stories
but for the time being these should be enough to demonstrate what I am saying.
These revelations make it quite clear that some very cunning minds with
fast-working hands and deceptive tongues have "taken" the ancient
Turanian civilization simply by altering the forms of ancient Turkish words and
phrases into non-recognizable "Indo-European" and "Semitic"
formats which they then claimed as their own.
The words of the Greek language weremanufactured from Turkish words and expressions and are historicalevidences for the Greek emulations and adoptations.Ari Akkermans: Where is the concreteuniversal-to-particular and universal-to-generalphonological evidence of your claims?
Polat Kaya: I am doing better than that.
I am providing exact correspondences between Greek words and Turkish
words/phrases that have been usurped and altered to form those
"Greek" words. You see, the Greek words are encryptions of the
Turkish source data. I am simply decrypting them and coming up with
perfect Turkish correspondences. Did you expect me to provide you with an
audio/video recording of the ancient Greek speech as it was performed on the
stages of ancient Athens? Maybe it can be ordered from a mythological
recording company in Greece, but I am afraid you will be waiting a long time. I
do not believe your "phonological evidence" requirement as being that
important a criteria, however I will touch this subject once again in another
response of mine to you and Shanti Light.
On the other hand what I say is based onlinguistic evidences which reader Ari Akkermans cannot even comprehend letalone try to disprove.Ari Akkermans: I think it is somebody else who failsto enlighten us with a sufficiently linguisticbackground. I do recognize not being a Turkishspeaker, but I do have a thorough knowledge ofClassical Greek gained through several years ofclassical scholarship and as any respectable linguistI am trained in descriptive linguistics. Please dopost the linguistic evidence in a linguistic fashionso that we all may be able to benefit from theinsightful theory you are postulating.
Polat Kaya: Please do not forget that I am
the one who has been giving you insight information and teaching you about the
makeup of the words belonging to Greek, Latin and other Indo-European
languages. In this regard you have given us nothing so far. In fact you
have conveniently played the "not-hearing" and the
"not-seeing" game as if you never heard one word of what I said.
Instead you have gone into verbose mode where you speak many words but
say little or nothing. Of course, the purpose of your verbosity is the
traditional diversion and confusion tactic used by weak debaters in order to
avoid discussing the real issue.
You say "I do have a thorough knowledge of Classical Greek gained through
several years of classical scholarship and as any respectable linguist I am
trained in descriptive linguistics." I
am glad to hear that, and I can believe you in what you say. But however,
this does not mean that while you were getting your training in Classical
Greek, someone would tell you that Greek was made up from Turkish and give you
a certificate to that fact. Please do not forget that I am the one who
told you these secret aspects of the Greek, Latin and the other IE languages in
the first place. Most likely your teacher did not know that Greek was made up
from Turkish. Even if he/she did, he/she probably would not enlighten you as I
have been enlightening you. This is the first time that you and all other
readers are hearing from Polat Kaya that Greek, Latin and the rest of the
European languages and the Semitic languages have been manufactured from
Turkish. Of course you are stunned and do not find it "believable".
But that is ok. You will eventually believe in what I am saying, that is, if
you are a truth searching linguist. All the exact correspondences that I
have shown here will haunt you unless you face them directly and accept what I
am saying. Evidently, your not knowing "Turkish" gives you a great
handicap which limits you from any comparison and also from comprehending what
is being compared and said in this forum.
Those natives, in addition to being known as TUR,THRAC (TURK, Thracians), TAURIC, TURUK, TORIC, ETRUSK (TURKSE), were also known by the name "PELASGIANS" who were Turanian Saka Turks.Ancient Greeks called them "Pelasgians." This name is from theTurkic source "BAL SAKALARI" meaning "Honey producing Saka peoples"and/or "BIL SAKALARI" meaning "knowledgable Saka people". For example, thefamed plain of "Thessaly" was one of the lands that was inhabitedby them and by their bees. The northern part of Thessaly was calledPELASGIOTIS. Similarly, those so-called "Ionians", falsely labeled as"Greek", were also Turkic speaking "Pelasgian" and Turanian peoples who calledtemselves "Ay-Hans". Note the similarity between Turkish"AyHan" and "Ion". This is not coincidental. These ancient pre-GreekTuranians, evidently took the Turkish name AY-HAN which was known as the nameof one of the six sons of OGUZ HAN. The Turkish name "AY-HAN" hasbeen Hellenized and converted into ION. This name is also known by thename "YUNAN" in Turkish and hence Greece is called "YUNANISTAN" byTurks. No wonder that some learned Greeks admit that at least 60% ofthe Greek population is of Turkish origin who are not all left over fromthe Ottoman period. As for the Turkicness of the "Pelasgians" reader AriAkkermans should read my reading of the Lemnos island stelainscription which is on the Internet. Pelasgians were unquestionably Turkishspeaking people contrary to denials: see URL http://www.compmore.net/~tntr/lemstelea.htmlAri Akkermans: Two points to be made. 1) I disagree onyour reading on the stelle. Please refer yourself tothe readings of the same stelle as published online atthe website of the Department of Linguistics of theUniversity of California at Chapel Hill. 2) On yourstatements regarding the origin of the Proto-Greeks Icouldn't disagree more. Please refer yourself to anarticle aclaimed by unanimity between scholars asprobably one of the best insights in Mycenean andAegean linguistic history; "From Achaywa to Achaioi",by Prof. Margalit Finkelberg, Head of the ClassicsDepartment at Tel Aviv University. You can also checkher last book published by the OUP in December 2004.
Polat Kaya: How can you tell that what they have
done is the correct reading but my reading is not correct? If you have not
worked on the inscription of the Lemnos Island stelle, then you are in no
position to tell me that you disagre with my reading? How do you know?
I believe you said that you do not know Turkish. This is a huge handicap
for you. Could it be that your disbelief or disagreement is due to your lacking
the proper background and even to your prejudices against anythng Turkish or
Turk related?
Besides, you can
disagree with me all you want but it does not change the fact. Just
because you do not believe what I am saying does not mean that it is the
end of the world. Please do not give yourself so much undue credence. You
are probably not even a drop in the endless field of knowledge. If you do not
believe my insights, I am not going to lose any sleep over it!
Additionally, are you the custodian of the votes cast on the validity of
different subjects presented by "scholars"? How did you know
that there was a "unanimity between scholars" on this subject?
Or are you just making up a tall tale in order to artificially strengthen your
weak argument? What do you think are the meanings of the names "ACHAYWA" and"ACHAIOI"? Please enlighten us. I get
the feeling that even these names are stolen from Turkish.
Those informed readers of academic literature -including reader Akkermans - do not know or did not know the realTurkic source of the words "theorem" and "theory". People who don't knoware not in a position to make any learned comparison and/orjudgment. They would be simply be repeating what they learned in schoolsand/or from dictionaries without knowing the real source ofthese words. The terms "theorem and "theory" are most definitely alteredfoms of Turkish words "teyorem" (diyorum) and "teyor" (diyor), and norhetoric on the part of reader Akkermans will change that fact. If hestudies carefully what I wrote and with an open mind, he will see that what Isay is unquestionable.Ari Akkermans: I am anxiously waiting for phonologicalproof (historically, that is) that the words came fromModern Turkish into Ancient Greek and not the otherway around. Hasn't the Turkish language evolved at allever since the so-called Turko-Sumerian? If that's so,then I wonder how those "artifically made up"languages did evolve. Is there maybe a theologicalinsight you would like to share with us as far as thisgoes? I won't even comment on your assumedunderstanding of the semantic meaning of theory andtheorem.
Polat Kaya:
If I may say so, you are in a deep sleep. You do not know how badly
you have been conned in linguistics. Whether you agree or disagree, there
is no question about Turkish being the "BIRATA" language
("meaning "one father" language) to Greek and many others - and
not the other way around. The Turkish word "bir ata" has been
conveniently distorted and hidden into the form of "proto".
Incidently "fathers" are "proto", that is, the
"model" for their children. Please take note of this fact.
Evidently some people have done a far better "salesmanship" in
conning the world. Somehow Turks are not good salesmen.
"As for your
question: "I wonder how those "artifically made up" languages did
evolve", I say t.hose speakers of the
artificially made up languages keep updating their languages as usual, that is,
Turkish being an unending source for their needs. Once one knows what to
do and how to do it, the rest is childs play. No problem whatsoever!
I have said it
before and I will say it again. It is most likely that the reading of
Sumerian was done with the help of Turkish and then presented in the way that
it has been presented (i.e., where the Sumerian words are suspiciously close to
Turkish yet presented in such a way that it does not look like Turkish). Let me
give you a simple example of what I mean. For instance, the Sumerian word IA, meaning "oil"or "fat", is
very much the same as Turkish YAg meaning "oil" or
"fat", however, the visual correspondence appears weak because the
Sumerologists have transliterated this Sumerian word as IA or just I alone. But the letter I is pronounced with a Y sound. In other words, the letter I implicitly contains a Y in it because we pronounce it with the Y
sound. Such situations cause alienation between Sumerian IA and Turkish YA. The same situation happens in many other words.
This is a great big con job.
Additionally, I
have said that Turkish is a monosyllabic language in which the syllables have
already been assigned meanings by the ancient Turanians. Since they are the
building blocks of Turkish language, they would stay the same since their
assignments. There is no more room to change words made up of V, CV, VC, CVC, VCV as was the case in Sumerian,
(where V is vowel and C is consonant). The basic building blocks of a building
do not change. Bricks are still being used in building of buildings since
the time of Sumerians and Masarians (so-called ancient "Egyptians").
They do not change much.
There is no need
for me to have a "theological" insight to tell you what I have been
saying. I do not need to be a magician in order understand what has taken place
in the field of European and Semitic linguistics. What I am saying is
linguistically quite simple. The "Greek" and IE words are
giving up their secrets. Under my close examination, they turn out to be
Turkish words or phrases with "Greek" clothes. No theological
insight here, just keen vision.
Part II1) On your comments regarding the Hittites: True, Hittites comes from the Biblical Hebrew "Hitit",which was the designation for a nationality and notnecessarily connected to the name "Heth", except inthe Midrashic Jewish tradition, which is known not tohave a serious logical understanding of their ownhistory and is based more on folk etymology than onanything else. It seems you fail to recognize all theserious linguistic evidence (bearing in mind you haveproduced none) leads me and most students and scholarsto see Hittite as an IE language more than anythingelse.
Polat Kaya:
With this statement of yours, you have introduced enough doubt into the
identity of the "Hebrews" and their language so that what has been
attributed to them is not believable. For example, Hebrews being Jews is
not believeable - although it is claimed to be so. After you bring your own
doubt into the name HETh and HITTITE, you suddenly jump to "my failing to
recognize all the serious linguistic evidence". What evidence do you
have in mind? Will you please show us some of those evidences? You
are wrong! The claim that Hittite is an IE langauege is a totally false
claim just like the claim that Greek and Latin languages are authentic and
ancient from an ancient "Indo-European" source.
Indo-European
languages are artificially manufactured languages and they had no roots in the
past history. Although this is contrary to your beliefs, the evidence I
present (i.e., the words) speak for themselves.
This can be argued, as Hittite can stand as alinguistic group of its own or altogether with theCuneiform languages. My doubts were dissipated after Icame across the book "Hittite & the Indo-EuropeanVerb". I no longer recall the name of the author, butyou can find him through the Linguistics Department atHarvard or by searching the book at Eisenbaums. Not tomention the Anatolian theory that evenglottochronology has reconfirmed, and that you openlyseem to deny.
Polat Kaya:
Please note, Ari, that I do my own research and I have read a lot, I can
assure you of that.
2) I am not really concerned on whether theBabylonians in the Old Akkadian period were honest ordishonest people.
Polat Kaya:
Why not? If the Semitic Akkadians were dishonest, would it not
affect the accurate portrayal of history? Of course it would!
Therefore you, as a linguist, should be concerned about it.
I am more concerned with theirlinguistic history, those ethical issues I leave themfor the "Geistgeschichters", since a linguist is whatI am. Prof. Kramer did indicate kinship, but neverconfirmed the Turko-Sumerian genetic and typologicaffinity. Where is your proof that TUR was replaced byMAR? As far as I know our knowledge of the Sumerianlexicon and grammar is as yet very limited. Theinformation provided by Prof. Kramer never yielded ona linguistic ground. For confirmation please feel freeto contact any of the scholars at the Samuel NoahKramer Institute of Assyriology at Bar Ilan University(Israel).
Polat Kaya: a) If I
recall correctly in your initial posting, you denied any relation between
Turkish and Sumerian. Now you are singing a different tune. Which one of
your statements should I believe? In the past someone in this forum told me
that "I should do my own homework and he was not going to do that for
me". In other words, he would not be helpful when the study was
about the Sumerian and Turkish kinship. In the same way, do you think that
Prof. Kramer would tell us directly if Turkish and Sumerinan were one and the
same? The best that he could do was a statement in the "double
negative" saying that "Sumerian language was not unlike Turkish"
- which, of course, is the same as saying "Sumerian language is like
Turkish".
b)
Let us not overlook "ethical issues" because it is very much at
the core of the present Indo-European and Semitic languages. Their
formation is very closely related to this concept!.
c) TUR was definitely suppressed from the
reading of Sumerian texts. Please see "A Sumerian Reading Book"
by C. J. Gadd, M.A., Oxford At The Clarendon Press, 1924, p. 49, Reading
Passage Part III, where footnote No. 1 says: "TUR is read
MAR in the name of this god." Thus the Sumerian text talking
about a God is transliterated to us by the Sumerologists as:"dingir-Lugal-MAR-da-dingir-ra-ni-ir" instead of "dingir Lugal TUR-da -dingir-ra-ni-ir". What is going on here? Why is
the original Sumerian TUR being read and portrayed to the world as
MAR? TUR is one of the many names of
the Ancient Turanian Sky-God and is the source for names such as TURAN, TUR,
TURK, TURKISH, TURKMEN, TURUK, etc. Sppressing the name TUR is
deliberate obliteration of the name TUR. Truth searching linguists should
be very concerned about its disappearance. There is a high probability
that similar suppressions must have occurred in other appearances of TUR also.
3) I am not "muddying up the clean waters". I amsimply trying to give this discussion a linguisticbasis, which it obviously lacks. We are discussinghistorical linguistics, not exegetical history ofanyone's forlorn nationalism. I wonder if your criticof the Aryan theory doesn't apply to your own theoryas well.
Polat Kaya:
Instead of diverting the discussion onto bogus topics such as
"nationalism" - which certainly do not apply in my case, you should
be concentrating on the word evidences I provide. But you didn't because
your aim is to avoid discussing those words and confuse the issue. No
matter how much you avoid my evidences, they will not go away nor will they
diminish in validity. I have many more of them and if necessary, I will share
them all.
This discussion of
mine already has a "linguistic" basis - the analysis of the words
that I provide and the Turkish correspondences that I reveal provide that
"linguistic" basis. My driving force is to dispose of the lies
and uncover the truth and hence has nothing to do with nationalism.
You do not seem to want to see the fact that Greek words and, similarly,
words from other European languages, have been made up from Turkish words and
phrases. Instead of discussing these correspondences, you are villifying me.
That is the easy way out. What you say is not rational nor
scientific.
4) Greek words: A bunch of examples from Modern Greek- Modern Turkish unfortunately do not prove yourpoint. The rearrangement of the words is preciselythat, rearrangement. It yields no valuable linguisticinformation. Not phonology-wise, not semantics-wiseand not morphology-wise plus it is not descriptive orcomparative of either language by any means.
Polat Kaya:
Not so! Your injection of "modern Greek" and "modern
Turkish" are just deceptions and does not hold water. Even if they
did it for modern Greek from modern Turkish, it would mean that they were
carrying on an ancient tradition of usurpation from Turkish. My Turkish
correspondences are from a Turkish language that has continued from
Turko-Sumerian times and prior. For you to admit that I am correct is
quite a challenge and I can understand your position as someone that is part of
the establishment. Evidently the admission of what I am saying as
correct is not in the best political interest of those who are still part of
the establishment. So giving me these kinds of excuses is just rhetoric on your
part.
5) I understand your motivations in the search of thetruth and I share your contempt for the academic view,but before I can join your army of discoveries pleasedo provide scientific information, that is all what Iam asking. And please withhold yourself fromquestioning my appreciation and input as an scholar,for there is no proof whatsoever of my intentionsbeing other than strictly academic. Kind regardsAri Akkermans

If the academic view of linguistics was truthful and straightforward, I would
not have any contempt for it. And I am providing ample scientific
information. You are simply in denial mode. It seems that you do
not readily recall your attacks and accusations about my qualifications in your
postings. In fact so much so that you did not even mention my name in your
previous postings - as if you were talking to a wall. Only after I reminded
you of your disrespectful writings did you start to collect yourself. Now
you want to turn the tables around and stone me as if you were in the
"right' and I was in the wrong". Where did you get this one sided
privileged position from? If you are going to criticize my work, you must stick
to what I am discussing and you must be civil about it. Only in this way can we
have a mutual exchange of ideas. Additionally, don't ever think that I do
not understand what you are writing.
Best wishes to you
and to all,
Polat Kaya
