<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->It's brilliant. Everything is there: the motives of the initial formulators, their reasoning that lead them to believe in the IE and AIT and their admission of how all their beliefs were entirely rooted in the bible. The site does really well in highlighting all the incriminatory sentences in their works. Nice touch.
Who knew that Abbe Dubois and Max Mueller would have written so blatantly about how totally their belief in the IE language family (or Japhetic/Aryan language family as it was called then) was biblical in its basis. To think that these were the supposed fathers of the whole notion and gave rise to the fields of 'linguistics' and 'indology'.
And Stanley Wolpert - to think that his reasoning skills are really so basic as to jump from maybe to possibly to certainly (and in spite of counter evidence from the actual sciences too!) It's embarassing enough that supposed scientists of centuries back like Dubois and Mueller were anything but scientists, but Wolpert is respected in scientific circles today, isn't he? Can they get away with such infantile logic even in such a rule-of-thumb 'science' as indology?

Merely because it is a myth does not make it unharmful. On the contrary, it has done great harm.
