The Proto-Indo-Europeans learned how to grow wheat, domesticated cattle and developed
immunity for the allergic reactions against cow milk. They also developed immunity against the
cow-pox and other diseases for domesticated cattle, which turned out to become a strategic
advantage for the future.
In a certain sense the cultural revolution already lasts approximately 6000 years and of course the
shock-waves of this blast may still be felt in 2010. In fact the Indo-European expansion, centred an
area north of the Black Sea, did not halt at the west-European borderlines. The discovery of the
Americas, Australia and other areas extends the cultural explosion well beyond the continental
origin.
All subsequently derived civilisations, including the Greek civilisation, the Roman Empire, the
Holy Roman Empire in Germany, the French empire, the British global empire – they all must be
considered as subsets of the PIE-concept.
The PIE-religion, based on the IU-principle, shares the androgynous concept with the Jewish (or to
be more precise the IU-ish) religion. Of course the correlation between the PIE-religion and the
Jewish religion suggests to investigate the true origin of the IU-fundament. Did it originate in Ur, in
Palestine, in Egypt or in the PIE-epicentre Volgograd?
The following overview describes the massive impact of the general PIE-concept on society.
Ground-zero
In the epicentre (of fig. 1) we may identify the modern city of Volgograd, which used to be named
Stalingrad between 1925–1961. The city was made famous for its resistance and extensive damage
during the Battle of Stalingrad during World War II.
Volgograd originated with the foundation in 1589 of Tsaritsyn at the confluence of the Tsaritsa and
Volga Rivers. The fortress Sary Su (a local Tatar language name meaning: Yellow Water/River), was
established to defend the unstable southern border of Tsarist Russia. It soon became the nucleus of a
trading settlement. It was captured twice by Cossack rebels, under Stepan Razin in the rebellion of
1670 and Yemelyan Pugachev in 1774. Tsaritsyn became an important river port and commercial
centre in the 19th century.
The original name of the city, Tsaritsyn, was first recorded by English explorer Barry in 1579,
though he did not refer to the city, but to the island on the Volga. The origin of the name is usually
traced back to the Turkic "Sary-Su" (yellow water) or "Sary-Sin" (Yellow Island). The date of the
founding of the city is considered to be July 2, 1589, when the fortress Tsaritsyn was first named in
a royal charter. The fortress was located slightly above the confluence of the Volga River Queen on
the right bank. Before the Tsarina, in the mouth of the river, there was a settlement of the Queen of
the Golden Horde.
The Coat of Arms of Tsaritsyn (1857) in red and blue may indicate the most important commercial
business (fishing) around 1857.

In 2010 the origin of the cultural explosion does not reveal too much remains of the original power,
which has been set free from here. The key to the success of the PIE-centre Volgograd obviously
may be identified in the central location at the confluence of the Volga River (satellite-image).

The energetic source

The PIE-revolution may be characterized for its merits in agricultural and domesticating fields.
These merits may have been the driving powers in penetrating the mayor areas indicated in the map
of fig. 1. Other PIE-elements such as the PIE-language and PIE-religion must be considered as
accompanying tools in controlling the social parameters of society. The linguistic power or the
religion itself cannot be seen as a driving power of the PIE-concept for 6000 years. Efficiency in
communication may have improved management, but any other language would also have provided
sufficient flexibility.
The PIE-religion has been identified as a fertility rite, which has been spread over all PIE-locations.
Religion and language have been interwoven. The religious power of PIE-religion including its
language may have been used as a powerful tool to convince people in accepting new rules from the
teachers, who must have been welcomed as the Gods from abroad.
Probably the main energetic source of the cultural explosion can be identified in the management of
the agricultural and domesticating inventions. The immunity against the cow-pox and other diseases
for domesticated cattle may also have helped in the historical conquest-phases.

The shock-waves
The shock-waves of this cultural earthquake expanded at a rate of approximately 1000 km/
Millennium. These waves seem to have covered large areas shock-wise, in expanding quickly along
the Danube and Elbe to some borderline (e.g. a main river like the Rhine), filling the intermediate
area over centuries and then quickly expanding from here to the Atlantic coastline. This thesis is
supported by historical records, which document mayor coverages for several languages like
(German, French, Spanish, etcetera).
Similar shock-waves have been reported from the expansive phases in the occupation of the
Americas, in which relatively small groups of soldiers were able to occupy large areas within a
short time. The immunity against certain diseases has been reported as a mayor impact in these
historical conquest-phases.
Linguistic parameters1
In the course of time the more recent variants of PIE-languages tends to be simplified. Old
languages (e.g. German) are more complex than newer, simplified languages (English). The success
of a simplified English as a global language results from linguistic adaptation to expansions. The
following sequence of linguistic evolution may be listed as …. German → French → English →
Pidgin….
A pidgin language is a simplified language that develops as a means of communication between two
or more groups that do not have a language in common. It is most commonly employed in situations
such as trade, or where both groups speak languages different from the language of the country in
which they reside (but where there is no common language between the groups).
Fundamentally, a pidgin is a simplified means of linguistic communication, as is constructed
impromptu, or by convention, between groups of people. A pidgin is not the native language of any
speech community, but is instead learned as a second language. A pidgin may be built from words,
sounds, or body language from multiple other languages and cultures. Pidgins usually have low
prestige with respect to other languages.
Since a pidgin language is a fundamentally simpler form of communication, the grammar and
phonology are usually as simple as possible, and usually consist of:
• Uncomplicated clausal structure (e.g., no embedded clauses, etc)
• Reduction or elimination of syllable codas
• Reduction of consonant clusters or breaking them with epenthesis
• Basic vowels, such as /a, e, i, o, u/
• No tones, such as those found in West African and Asian languages
• Use of separate words to indicate tense, usually preceding the verb
• Use of reduplication to represent plurals, superlatives, and other parts of speech that
represent the concept being increased
• A lack of morphophonemic variation

Originally a trade jargon developed between the British and the Chinese in the 19th century, but
now commonly and loosely used to mean any kind of ‘broken’ or ‘native’ version of the English
language.
Pidgin is believed to have been a Chinese pronunciation of the English word business. There have
been many forms of pidgin English, often with common elements because of the wide range of
contacts made by commercial shipping. The original pidgin English of the Chinese ports combined
words of English with a rough-and-ready Chinese grammatical structure. Melanesian pidgin English
(also known as Tok Pisin) combines English and the syntax of local Melanesian languages. For
example, the English pronoun ‘we’ becomes both yumi (you and me) and mifela (me and fellow,
excluding you).
Some of these pidgin simplifications may also be observed in SMS and other simplified languages
for bloggers. The vowels (and the pronouns), which have been identified as religious symbols 2, tend
to be simplified to their basic cores I and U. The personal pronoun for the first person singular (“I”)
had already been simplified from iou to “I” centuries ago. Right now pidgin simplifies the pronoun
“you” to “U”. The simplest form of Pidgin has been demonstrated in Tarzanising a language:
I - Tarzan, U - Jane
which clearly demonstrates the ultimate priority and significance of the pronouns I and U.

Religious parameters
The basic PIE-concept of religion has been identified as a fertility principle, symbolized by the
vowels & characters I and U. The same fundamentals may be identified in the divine name IHVH
for the Jewish God3. The correlation between the PIE-religion and the Jewish religion suggests to
investigate the true origin of the IU-fundament. Did it originate in Ur, in Palestine, in Egypt or in
the PIE-epicentre Volgograd?
Ur is considered by many to be the city of Ur Kasdim mentioned in the Book of Genesis ( Biblical
Hebrew ‫ )אור‬as the birthplace of the patriarch Abram (Abraham; Arabic:Ibrahim), traditionally
believed to be sometime in the 2nd millennium BC.
Interpreting the flows of PIE-impact in the following map we may observe a very close distance
between Ur and borderline of the PIE-expansion at 1000 BC.

Fig. 4: Indo-European expansion 4000–1000 BC, according to the Kurgan

hypothesis.

In the 2nd millennium BC the influence of Ur's sovereignty however must be extended to Biblos in
the north. The PIE-borderline and the Ur-empire seem to have been neighbours in Abram's era. In
fact Abram must have contacted the Hittites in order to buy the burial place to bury his wife Sarah4:
In Genesis 23:2, towards the end of Abraham's life, he was staying in Hebron, on lands belonging to
the "children of Heth", and from them he obtained a plot of land with a cave to bury his wife Sarah.
One of them (Ephron) is labeled "the Hittite", several times. This deal is mentioned three more
times (with almost the same words), upon the deaths of Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph.
Decades later, in Genesis 26:34, Abraham's grandson Esau is said to have taken two Hittite wives,
and a Hivite one. This claim is repeated, with somewhat different names, in Genesis 36:2. In
Genesis 27:46, Rebekah is worried that Jacob will do the same.
The contact between the PIE-people Hittites sufficiently and clearly proves the contact between a
PIE-people and the Jewish patriarch Abram. From this contacts we may accept the idea of
correlations between IHVH and the PIE-deity Dyaus.

Summary
The Proto-Indo-European-concept seems to have been originated 4000 BC at Volgograd, Russia.
Originally the concept developed an agricultural revolution, an improved domestication of cattle
and an integrated management, which proved to be successful as a combination.
The concept has been expanding at a rate of approximately 1000 km / millennium, included the
Greek civilisation, Roman, French, Spanish and British empires - and completed a full, global
coverage around 1900 AD.
The PIE-language evolved to simplified versions in Greek, Latin and English, which both expanded
to become globally accepted, basic languages. The PIE-religion involved most of the early
androgynous religions in PIE-oriented regions, including India, Germany, and other parts of Europe.
Basics of the PIE-religion have also been introduced into Abram's religious concept, which in a
variant returned into the European PIE-civilisations.
These revolutionary improvements resulted in a cultural earthquake, which still is to be continued
day after day...
