We are convinced that our emendations will bring some light on Pre-Greek inscriptions that will ultimately lead to the full recongnition that Pelasgian Pre-Greek is a third branch of Indo-Euroepan, with Anatolian Indo-European and Non-Anatolian (Northern) Indo-European. [...] There is little doubt that the PIE homeland is to be found somewhere around the Aegian Sea." Truth: This is wholesale pseudo-science.
