Walma. The ancestral home of the Walmartians.

Interesting stuff, and thanks for posting. I note that the evidence for the Luwians is, at the moment, primarily linguistic, which is probably all future archaeologists are going to have to demonstrate the existence of Florida Man and the Deadites.

There's a book by John Philip Cohane titled "The Key". which examines the possible worldwide dissemination of primitive Semitic cultures through linguistic study.

Interesting, but somewhat dry and in some places mind-numbing linguistic tracking down of place-names and claims there were two Pacific migrations thousands of years ago.

One comment I thought was really interesting was that places with double names like Pango Pango, Walla Walla, Bora Bora were always at the end of the track, indicating they were a "We stopped here." indicator.

I'd like to thank the folks in Walma for their contribution to modern culture.

It is amazing about the ancient people on the planet. How did they fail? Was it by socialism? Or wars...
