It might be this culture.<br /><br />It preceeded the kura axis but it doesn't show easily continuity. So, they probably left. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shulaveri-Shomu_culture<br />I read this article, they do show continuity, but is like more restricted. Like it shrank the territory. It is also related to Sumerians, or at least what preceeded them, the Uruk culture<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kura%E2%80%93Araxes_culture<br /> Ararat is in the of t his system. This is the river where Noah's ark stoped after the flood. It's far off the usual domains of semitic stuff on the bible, perhaps it has its signifcance for the people around this region.<br /><br />It's interesting that the SS culture people looked for specific types of stones. Obsidian is special in that it is used as a blades of wooden swords capable of decapitate the head of a horse with one or two strikes. <br />Daniel de França MTd2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01281817409696805377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3756272660800605663.post-90002935432884665652016-05-22T01:05:15.306-07:002016-05-22T01:05:15.306-07:00The Caucasus Mountain range is huge and visible fr...The Caucasus Mountain range is huge and visible from the Pontic-Caspian Steppe.
