Indoeuropljani: Jezik, arheologija i mit

James P. Mallory

Archaeologist J. P. Mallory's seminal work explores the origins of Indo-Europeans, combining linguistics, archaeology, and mythology to solve one of history's greatest mysteries.

“Indo-Europeans: Language, Archaeology, and Myth” by the distinguished Irish-American archaeologist James P. Mallory is a fundamental and world-renowned work that offers a comprehensive overview of the search for the ancestral homeland and history of the Indo-Europeans – a people whose languages ​​are now spoken on almost half of the planet. The author synthesizes knowledge from three key disciplines in a fascinating way: comparative linguistics, archaeological findings, and ancient mythology.

Mallory critically examines numerous historical hypotheses and theories about who the proto-Indo-Europeans were, where they lived, and how they spread across Eurasia. With exceptional scientific precision, but also an accessible style, he guides the reader through the complex labyrinths of material culture, linguistic affinities, and ancient myths, separating scientific facts from ideological abuses throughout history.

This book is an indispensable, top-notch read for all historians, archaeologists, linguists, and passionate researchers of the ancient past who want to delve into the very roots of European and world culture.
