Linguistic Archaeology: The origin of the Minotaur

Minotaur (Mkunotarkuar). First off we know the Ta- phonetic is associated with post exodus religious artefacts so the Minotaur is effectivly a religious object. However what we might think was Mino-taur (the minoan bull) is Mkun-otar-kuar in an older form.

Mkun-
This Sounds like a celtic name. We know that thanks to a minoan piece of jewelery they are in conflict with kilt-wearing celts.

-Otar-
Otar is a Georgian individual name. And like banshee we see family name first, individual name second in an asian, eastern european style.

-Kuar
This is a little more 'asian'. Kuar is Sikh for crown prince (or princess) and is added to the end of a name so we know it is correctly positioned.

Conclusion
So they kept this eastern Celtic Prince in a cage for arena or religious entertainment. In time the bull-headed monster of religious significance replaces the royal hostage. Anyone wondering where Crown Prince Otar Mkun vanished to, he was held hostage by the Minoans and treated like an animal for their entertainment.

Linguistic Archaeology: The Fomorians

Fo•mor'i•an (fo•wôr'ăn; m pronounced as w), n. [Ir. Gael. fo under + muir the sea.] Celt. Myth. One of a race of sea robbers, probably originally gods representing the powers of evil and darkness, who dwelt in the ocean whence they kept all of Ireland under tribute.

Fomuir: Fomkukuar
Foworian: Fokukuoarkuarn. The Fo-Kukuo-arku-arn (kukuo is a japanese phonetic marker). Skum(Foam/bearded)-kukuar(warriors) Berserkers/norse? Summerians?

Fomorians
1. Sea Robbers
2. Foam-Orions (foam-warriors)
📌 Bearded Warriors
📌 Berserkers
📌 Skum-arkuarns
       📍 Summe (Somme)
       📍 Sumaruarns (Summerians)
       📍 Sumar Kuarns (Summer Corn/Cairn)
                 A. Summer crop corns are sorgum, millet. Winter crops are wheat, barley, rye. So we have millet growing people. Japanese family name phonetic (kukuo). Displaced Proto-japanese?
                B. Cairn builders. A mound builder culture?

So lets assume they are originally a culture residing in the Somme River Valley. They will have left archeology in the Intertidal muds of the river mouth.

Linguistic Archaeology: The Banshee

Wailbri is an australian aboriginal clan. In pre form, where e and i were originally ku, and a or r were ar, Wailbri is Kukuarkulbarku or coracle bark. This means Wail means coracle and to hear the banshees wail is originally to hear the banshees coracle. Banshee would be Barnshkuku or a name- Barns (family name first)-Hkuku Hkuku would now be Hei (a female korean name).

The Banshee must originate as a woman of the Barns family named Hei somewhere in eastern europe or asia. She travels in a Coracle round vessel. To hear (or perhaps look upon) her coracle is to invite death. This might mean she is a noble, cursed, a witch, or some other danger.

There are of course legends of women and boats:

• An egyptian tale of a boat builder who creates a boat of gold, and the local princess having been lured from her palace to inspect this boat, he casts off kidnapping her.
• The Arthurian Legend of the lady of shallot. Who sets off in a boat to camelot and dies on the way.
• The Japanese utsuro-bune is about a round capsule-like boat where a woman is found adrift. The capsule has strange runes (triangular, and circular implying korean) and glass windows and she is white, with red hair with tinges of white (or dust, or pony tail silk bindings).
• A Hawaiian tale of a man with woman who drift across the ocean to Hawaii.
• Naked Venus hidden in the clam shell (a coracle like structure).

An Airbus Brexit

Hah! They are threatening the idiots who have thrown the James Bond cinema universe into chaos. At the rate the UK is going, it will disintergrate into little nuclear armed petty fiefdoms and the next James Bond will involve the final hours of the UK as a nation... and still be out of date.
