Yamna Burial Customs and IE Continuity

“Ukraine’s Yamna era burial mounds are evidence from the first Indo-European language speakers on earth. From eastern Ukraine, we can trace this burial model as far as Ireland and as far as Afghanistan: these are the first Indo-European male monarchs. They are buried in pits. Bent knees. Covered in ochre. Under a Mound, which is the location of the afterlife. … This Indo-European contractual model of sacrifice eventually ends up in christianity as the rite of Holy Communion.”
