A drawing in the Cosquer cave near Marseille, 27 000 BP,
shows a rectangle or trapezoid, in the foreground five large
triangles which may represent five large tents, in the middle
ground a free zone, a line indicating an elevation on the left
side, in the background a line of eight or nine small triangles
or tents. This may have been a permanent camp or DAI,
while summer camps in the north were smaller. Two further
drawings in the same cave may be read as maps of camps
in the region of Marseilles.

in a camp

AChI LEI --- swelling river, attacking lion: a lion attacking
with the force of a swelling mountain river, rushing down
a gorge like a tsunami on land, a quickly moving wall
of water, origin of the name Achilleus

Homer made comparisons between rivers and water.
Consider for example the talking river Xanthos. Xanthos
was a range of colors: yellow, brown, auburn, red. These
are the hues of copper ores. The talking and complaining
river Xanthos actually means the Trojan army clad in
armors walking along the river. At the begin of book XII
of the Iliad, Zeus makes it rain for nine days, while Apollo
and Poseidon fling the united waters of the Trojan rivers
against the wall of the Achaeans (anticipating a flood
occurring after the end of the Trojan war), which parallels
Hector's storm at the Greek wall by the end of book XII:
"and hell was broke loose." Achilleus may have been
modeled after a mountain river tsunami, he was idling
for a long time, then suddenly he was swelling up,
infuriated by the death of his friend Patroklos, attacked
the Trojans with the force of a mountain river tsunami
filled by a summer rain, and was doomed in the end,
as such a swelling mountain river soon dyes away,
afterward you can hardly imagine how such a brook
could develop such devastating force.

In Homer, Odyssey IX 19ff, Odysseus calls himself son
of Laertes, his fame has reached the heavens, he lives
in the island of Ithaka in the far west, an island nurturing
very fine young men ... The lineage was Zeus Arkeisios
Laertes Odysseus Telemachos. As rulers they were sons
and grandsons of Zeus, and since Zeus was a heavenly
bull, they were heavenly calves. The Peloponnes lies in
the west of the Indo-European homeland, and the ones
who reached the Peoloponnes came via Attika

ITA LIA --- calf, safe very safe (see a previous post),
land where the calves were safely protected, well guarded,
so there were plenty calves, Italia Italy originally the name

of ITA. Having now access to the old words makes the
explanation of Italia much easier.
