The story must be very old then. And since their prayers
are also in a language so old that the meaning has been
forgotten, what way is there of knowing that "North Pole"
is the North Pole?

Ah, the linguistic evidence for the cradle of Indo-European.
Well, over the years, the cradle has been rock north, east,
west, south and in between, so much that the baby must be
terminally sick now.

And what would those Ancient Aryans have called the saltwater
expanse north of Turkey, north-east of the Bosphorus? And that
south-west of the Bosphorus? Not "oceans" clearly since
there is no shared word for "ocean". How about "seas", then?
(never mind about what the difference between "sea" and
"ocean" might be). What, no word for "sea"? So it cannot be
Turkey. Or there is a word for "sea" but nor for "ocean"?
Know how to tell the difference?

Now for the rest: mountain, oak, beech. Well then,
there must be no mountains outside Turkey, nor oak trees,
no beech trees, because if there are... they could have come
from there, too, those Aryans.
