    In terms of linguistics the Pontic-caspian steppe is most likely. Genetics seems to be suggesting that possibly the first people to have spoken a PIE word came from somewhere south of the Caucasus, though it is clear that the main PIE expansion that led to the formation of practically every IE language was from the steppe.

    The Albanians, these tigers of mountain wars ... have as their religion rebellion. Even their worst warrior is one of the strongest and bravest on the battle-field, just as if he was a knight on the legendary horse. But he has no horse, nor proper weapons for battle. Instead of the horse, he has a lance which strikes as lightning, he has spears who's points are full of posion as the sting of hornets, he has also a wooden bow with some arrows. Furthermore, he is stronger than iron ...

    Lol, what are you talking about? Reich himself seems to be a supporter of South of Caucasus these days.

    Reich's south of Caucasus theory has nothing to do with Ivanov's Armenian hypothesis, which this clown Arsen supports.

    The Armenian Highlands hypothesis and the Anatolian hypothesis are not the same.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_hypothesis

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolian_hypothesis

    Which one are you referring to?

    Also, I can't access the paper when I click on your link.
