LIAR!!!
"The Kurgan people were an Indo-European culture existing during the fifth, fourth,
and third millennia BC; they lived in northern Europe, from Russia across Germany, and
various authorities have mounted a case for them being THE proto-Indo-European
culture, from which all Indo-European cultures descend. Other researchers think it
likely that later-day Kurgans were the "Sea People" who laid waste to the Holy Land
around 1200 BC - traveling south along the Mediterranean in ships, with their women
following them in wagons along the shore. The word kurgan means barrow or grave in
Slavic and Turkic; Kurgan culture is characterized by pit-graves or barrows, a
particular method of burial. They are also called the Pit-grave people, or Barrow
people."

SHEER POPPYCOCK!!!!
The common Proto-Indo-European root is not a theory but an IRREFUTABLE fact.
