Whereas it is more common that someone has a profession in science etc
and then pursues some form of art as a pastime, for the last 30 years I pursued art - wildlife fine art as my vocation, so that I would be free to pursue investigations and theories of a scientific nature as my personal pursuit. Since the internet began and I obtained a website (by about 1998) I have documented my writing on the internet, selecting the best and most finished works. Originally in web pages, when pdf's became the standard for scholarly papers, I moved to writing in .doc format and converting to pdf's. When the website "academia.edu" came into being I posted pdf's there as well as on my website. See the same papers at https://independent.academia.edu/APaabo

VENETI

After the Roman era, peoples called "Veneti" were located at northeast Europe, the south Baltic coast, northern Italy, maybe Slovenia. There is so little ancient historical texts about them to determine who they were, and what was their language or origins. As a result scholars have offered many theories, including claims they were Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, Latin. Nobody made the connection with the amber trade and possible origins in the Baltic source of amber and the Finnic language found there. I (Andres P��bo) investigated the ancient Venetic, pre-Roman, inscriptions in northern Italy, dating back over 500 years before the rise of Rome. Because the Adriatic north Italic Veneti are shown by archeology and ancient texts to have been the conduit for Baltic amber travelling to Greece, I felt the inscriptions may be Finnic (probable language at the sources of Baltic amber) Working on it for several years I found so much evidence that the inscriptions were in an archaic Finnic language, that I was able to offer an interpretation for almost every complete sentence and continued to reconstruct a basic grammar that paralleled common grammar in Estonian and Finnish today, on the basis that grammar changes much slower than words and the resemblance to modern Finnish/Estonian grammar should be noticable.

My focus of the Finnic language, notably Estonian lead me to learn to understand how the Finnic (generally Finno-Ugric) languages had ultimate origins in canoe-oriented aboriginal peoples across post-glacial northern Europe and that explains how a portion of them became the ancient long distance traders who established the large scale economy of Europe from the Bronze Age up to the Iron Age. The linguistic theory about the Finnic peoples, proves to be wrong, as it was developed over a century ago when information from archeology and other sciences did not exist to confirm or reject the original theory. Thus I also wrote about the Finnic languages in general, which were first defined as "Uralic".
