Why were Indo-Europeans so succesful, Veeky Forums?

sanksrit stems from proto-indo-iranian and proto-indo-european, not ancient greek

Because original Indo-Europeans were genetically close to Finnish people.

What the fuck are you talking about.

Don't stir the dank memester or you will face terrible autism.

just for a little while. They were raped by moors for 8 centuries .

they werent raped by the moors for 8 centuries.
They were raped for 3 centuries, like 711-1000, after that it was them raping moors who would only lose territory.
By the 1200s they could have reconquered all of Spain, but prefered to keep the Kingdom of Granada as a tribute paying vassal.

the Spanish Empire in the Americas lasted over 3 centuries, 1492 to 1810. And Spain was the most powerful European nation from the Italian Wars in 1525 when they captured the King of France in the battle of Pavia, to 1643 when the French finally managed to beat them in Rocroi.

There may not have ever been such a people as "indo-europeans."

Where'd the language come from then

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek
>9th century BCE to the 6th century CE

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit
>Era ca. 2nd millennium BCE–600 BCE

it is an abstraction, but a people who spoke proto indoeuropean existed, and were most likely the Yamnaya culture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamna_culture

Technically we don't know there ever was such a language (although most consider it likely). As for who spoke it and when, we have only various highly speculative hypotheses. We know nothing about them, including whether they could be described as a single culture at all. We don't know if they were "successful," only that their language never died out.

>1492 to 1810
Spain only lost Cuba in '98

So I would count that as 4 centuries

Wew if you got a coin every time you told a lie you would have paid all debts by now.

>eurospics
Wew.

Somebody have that chart with the rank of achievements/inventions showing Britain, Germany, France and Italy first and meme so-called civilizations like Muslims far behind?

Most European cultures and people stem from the breakdown of the Finnish Empire

this
the scythians, tocharians, sogdians, thracians, phrygians, dacians, celts, latins were all incorrectly labelled IE when infact they are paleolithic Finn survivors

More than survivors, they were colonists evolved from them, their language culture, and genetics to the pre-existin substratum of non finnic people. While they evolved, though, the inhabitants of their original homeland turned on themeselves, de-evolving in a cannibalstic culture due to the unnatural long winter that hit that land, triggered by either a Hwang weapon of last resort, or their own defence mechanism gone rogue (the reports are quite lacking here)

The Greeks are just one branch of the Indo-European tree, the Indo-Europeans greatly predate the Greeks and much of Greek language and religion was derived from and influenced by the Indo-Europeans
