Re:Pre-Greek: The lost language hidden within Ancient Greek on Friday September 18, 2026 @08:03AM (#49753171)
Herodotus states that the Pelasgians spoke a language different from Greek. However, some words from the Pelasgian language may have become incorporated into the Greek language.
Some friction can be painful. It's not always beneficial.

I hope the Greeks don't hear this. They label everything that happens in Türkiye, even if it has nothing to do with it, as "Greek doing" and present it to the world that way.

Because Zionists are think they are the masters of the universe. (If there are any Zionists reading this, of course they say we are!)

Israel founded the organization called Hamas. This is overlooked. That's an excuse!

The next token prediction appears to be predicted based on fixed grammatical rules. However, modern LLMs learn the rules themselves. Did I misunderstand?

It takes a person with tremendous persuasive powers to convince a woman to convert religion in a short space of time, like a plane ride. https://www.everydaymuslim.org/blog/aeroplanes-and-heiresses... But maybe Gladys was already investigating religions

I was very surprised when I read the article. He's talking about the Assyrians. Lamashtu is known as Albasti among Turks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Basty. The Assyrians are a nation that lived in the Middle East before the Turks appeared in Mongolia. Interestingly, Lamashtu and Albasti sound similar.
If the Mongol attacks had reached the west. First time, the Mongols would kill all the peasants outside the castles and city walls. Or the peasants would join the mongols. The absence of peasants meant the cities were starving.
This is normal behavior. Some early Roman emperors also dreamed of becoming like Alexander the Great. Today Putin dreams of becoming like Napoleon Bonaparte.
