The Proto-Indo-European (PIE) language and its spread across the world from the Stone Age through the Copper Age and into the Bronze Age represent a fascinating period of human history, revealing complex migrations, cultural transformations, and the dawn of linguistic diversity as we know it today. These narratives span thousands of years and cover vast expanses of Eurasia, marking the beginnings of many of the world's major language families.

The story of Proto-Indo-Europeans, also called Aryans and Eurasians, begins with the question of the homeland, a topic of scholarly debate. The most widely accepted theory places the Eurasian homeland in the Pontic-Caspian steppe, covering today's Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan. From this region, during the late Neolithic period (around 4500-2500 BCE), just after the cultivation of the vine and making wine was discovered by people from that same eastern black sea region, known as the Caucasus, Colchis & Armenia, the Eurasian people began their expansive journey, in all directions, east, west and even north and south. They travel as far east as India and as far west as the Atlantic Ocean.

We know this due to several reasons. Culture, Religion, and Language are 3 of the biggest clues.

*Méh₂tēr
Mother in English, Mōdar in Gothic/Germanic, Mḗtēr μάτηρ in Ancient Greek, Mātar مادر in Persian, मातृ Mā́tṛ in Sanksrit.

Cultic Religious terms *seh₂k-, which means Holy or Sanctified, like Latin Sānctus or Sanciō. The Greek word ἅγιος Hágios, which also means Sacred, cognate with Sankrit yájus यजुस्, hence YajurVeda or “Worship Knowledge” coming from PIE H₁yaǵ-.

And the Sankrit Word Soma सोम , cognate with Persian Haoma هاما, is a sacred drink that is in cognate with the Germanic word for GOD. GOTTA. Coming from the PIE word ǵʰew- "to pour, libate, invoke".

This also shows evidence that religion itself may come from Psychedelic potions in ritual use.

The dispersal of Proto-Indo-European speakers is closely tied to their nomadic pastoralist lifestyle, which relied heavily on the domestication of horses and innovations such as the wheel. These technological advances facilitated mobility over great distances, allowing PIE tribes to spread their language and culture across the Eurasian steppes.

As we move into the Copper Age (also known as the Chalcolithic period, approximately 3500-2300 BCE), the spread of PIE speakers accelerated due to several factors. The development of copper metallurgy provided new tools and weapons, enhancing agricultural productivity and warfare capabilities. These advancements supported population growth and encouraged PIE tribes to explore new territories.

During this time, PIE communities fragmented and migrated in various directions, leading to the differentiation of the language into distinct but related dialects. These migrations can be traced through archaeological evidence, such as the spread of Corded Ware culture in northern Europe and the Yamnaya culture in the Pontic-Caspian steppe, both of which are associated with early Indo-European speakers.

The transition to the Bronze Age (around 3300-1200 BCE) marked a significant turning point in the dissemination of PIE languages and cultures. The increased use of bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, further revolutionized tools, weapons, and artifacts. This period saw the emergence of more complex social structures, including chiefdoms and early states, which facilitated larger-scale migrations and conquests.
Europe's Stone Age, spanning from the Paleolithic through the Neolithic periods, has yielded a wealth of artifacts that provide insight into the spiritual life, artistic expression, and daily practices of its ancient inhabitants. Among these, some of the most remarkable and ancient artifacts include the Lion Man, Venus figurines.

Hindus worship the Daevas (daemons) and reject the Asuras (titans). This is why they have a pantheon similar to the Greeks and Romans with a Tyrannical Sky Father at the Helm, who was called Dyas Pitar, which is cognate with Zeus Pater and Ju-Piter. This god is later known as Indra in vedic texts and then finally assumes the form as Vishnu and comes as a human form as Krishna.
