*The Civilization of the Goddess* (1991), $30 pbk., has one chapter
entitled "Sacred Script," in which it is suggested that they represent a
pre-IE language, some of the signs may have phonetic interpretations,
and the possibility exists that a bilingual with an IE language may
someday be found!! However, the name of an "editor" is prominent on the
cover of this book, and it seems highly unlikely that after working on
the first volume for ten years (as she says), she suddenly changed her
mind a few months after it was published. It seems much more likely that
those thoughts were inserted by the "editor" and Gimbutas had little to
do with the later book.

Marija Gimbutas published some twenty books, among them

The Gods and Goddess of Old Europe, 1974

edited again as

The Goddesses and Gods of Old Europe, 1982/96

Such a kowtowing to totalitarian feminism (Goddesses first!) is in
itself message enough that the writer does not deserve to be taken
seriously.

You never cease to disgust.
