The Persian word for Arrow is " Tir , or Felesh " the same as French or old European ( according to a linguist friend of mine) word " Tire , Fletch" Since migration route of early humans , out of Africa , was through the dry Sea- bed , that is now where the Suez canal is , and this was possible during the low Sea levels of Ice ages . And also because migration from Africa through the ME , then spread in all directions , including Europe , then these Arrows are not the earliest example of such artefacts . Linguistics is far more resilient to change , than first thought . Some of the language groups in Finland , share the same root , as in Northern India . Yet the people look very different due to climatic adaptation .
Must also add that the name of Rivers in Ukraine , starting with " Dnie, " are derived from the old Persian " Danu, " or River . It could be that the River Dnieper , is old Persian name of " Danu- peer, " or old River ! Europeans are keen to emphasise their links to ancient Greece or Rome , but not Persia . They are afflicted by the modern idea of race and see Persians as non-whites ! Deny their heritage .
