Talk:Erebuni Fortress

Linking factual site to hypothetical people
Hypothetical Er people are introduced linking it to Erebuni. Then based on linguistic analysis of unknown Er language, a conclusion is made that Erebuni fortress was a capital of Georgian Er people. Hayordi (talk) 19:41, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I support the removal of any references to the Ers. There is no actual historical record that they ever existed. They are a hypothetical people championed by Amjad Jaimoukha, who was neither a linguist nor an anthropologist. According to Hrachia Acharian (an actual highly respected linguist) -buni is of Indo-European etymology (from Proto-Indo European "bʰuH-"). I'm not even sure why this Era etymology is worth mentioning in this article--it's a fringe theory that nobody accept for Chechen nationalists seem to accept.Preservedmoose (talk) 03:33, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
