I love how, when mentioning the "discovery" of Sanskrit, he specified the western perspective of discovery. So self aware for the time, I'm genuinely impressed-though I suppose the field of linguistics is a great one for universal humanizing!

The West is who made the discovery! There is only one perspective on how it was discovered.

Incredibly interesting and has largely stood the test of time!

Largely. Our reconstructions are of much higher quality these days, as a lot of work on Proto-Indo-European has been done, particularly after the discovery of the PIE laryngeals from the discovery and translation of Hittite and Luwian, that explain words like Sanskrit 'pitr' and Greek 'odontos', which were still hard to explain in the 50s. That is to say, a lot of this information is out-of-date (the 'beech' argument for example having long since been disregarded as too shaky in practice as a number of the 'beech' words don't appear to be related or even mean 'beech'!), but the general principles are correct.

This deserves more views!

Its very interesting, how my language (lithuanian) has some of the words very very close to the same pronunciation to the old languages, for example when he showed the gothic bible the last word sununs , in my language son/'s you say sunus. Also from the latin words "dentis" means tooth, we say "dantis" for tooth. So many similiar words to my language lol.

​@donalddude7568 Rig Veda shows a heavy affinity to the Avestas and not to the iconography of Indus Valley, yet there is cultural continuity between Indus Valley and India today. Almost as if the 'Aryans' entered a land already possessed of its own people and customs. Very politically incorrect to say in India today especially to those who want to suppress Dravidian languages.

Anatolianists in shambles. This is hilarious. BTW, the Anatolian Hypothesis was the hobby horse of an archeologist. And it's true, on the archeology. But wrong on the language. European farmers in the Neolithic really did come from Anatolia. Indo-European is associated with the kurgan/barrow/tumuli people influx in the Bronze Age, thousands of years later. The DNA evidence also shows about 6-7 migrations which must be accounted for by Europeanists. Of course only one language will prevail. Renfrew conveniently forgets all about Vasconic languages which used to span a much larger geographic area in Europe, are non Indo-European, and have never been convincingly connected to any other language alive or dead. A good candidate for the Old European of the Neolithic.

Proto Indo-European language is a fiction created by the western scholars as they have always been more interested in fiction than the actual reality!. There is no such a language as PIE!.
