You hear it so often claimed that in certain languages, such as German, some ancestral knowledge was retained in that linguistic-spirit from the PIE, but it seems like it's mostly baseless to derive such a characterisation from an "older language" such as PIE.

Any books on the subject?

no.

Okay. I guess it's just historical essentialism or transcendentalism in the Hegelian sense that a beginning starts here in time, and another place only so long after and so on.

Yup, it's confirmed. Linguistics is not a science, just guesswork and stamp collecting.

>Is there anything actually spiritually important to PIE?
What does that even mean? If you're asking whether Norse, Greek, Celtic, Roman, Hindu etc. mythology have a common origin? Than yes.

>You hear it so often claimed that in certain languages, such as German, some ancestral knowledge was retained in that linguistic-spirit from the PIE
Almost all European languages derive from PIE, German doesn't hold any significant heritage

first to tame the horse then the wheel which they put on boats, called landships, then eventually chariots with which they rolled over the world

Sounds like bullshit, you can't go to America in chariots.

Isn't it a jump to suppose chariots were created from putting wheels on boats?

>> No.16719290

>>16719152
well since IEs are as connected to seafaring as they were to chariot culture, and it was Wagons not chariots they had for like a thousand years; the 'longboat' was a coeval invention. The Anatolian IE languages also lack the same words for Wagons/Wheels/Chariots, hinting at the pre-proto IEs actually originated in around the Caucasus and Anatolia.
It's a educated guess anyway, and not literal, since boats are older than wagons. That boats would be the inspiration as something to put wheels on, is perfectly logical since they didn't have any other type vehicle, it's literally the only wagon-looking object available at the time.

Apple pie is spiritually more important than pumpkin pie. Peach probably as well.
