Yamna — Creators of the First IE Language

“They are believed to have first used cannabis for ritual purposes. They took the invention of the wheel and wagon and built their entire economy around this new form of mobility… However, of all the Yamna’s claims to fame, creating and seeding the first Indo-European language anywhere is the greatest. Today more than half of humanity speak languages descended from the Proto-Indo-European (Ancient Ukrainian) language Yamna forged in the river valleys of eastern Ukraine.”
