The three main things that make no sense to me are…. If someone could explain it, I would love to know the answers.
1)shavism is considered “cushitic” but Shiva/Rudra very literally is Apollo. (Dionysos came into Being with the fracturing of Apollo with the fall of Troy, hence by Cybele or Magna mater cures Bacchus of his madness, the fall of Cybele from Leto returns to a great mother and the shadow of Apollo that is Dionysos is brought to the conscious light, full consciousness is Shiva/Rudra). Apollo is the destroyer and healer.
2) the Bronze Age that collapsed didn’t collapse from the “heroic age” warring with them. The Bronze Age collapsed from decadence and trade ie their long supply chains failed. Those regions literally were what he calls “cushitic” in the sense that they were decadent materialists, they didn’t follow Apollo (Troy did which was part of the heroic age until they became a trading post and brought in decadence that caused jealousy in Greece), and were mostly that horizontal region he talks of and highly decadent. How were they of Apollo and Europe (the heroic age) was of Cybele? When the Bronze Age was insanely decadent and materialistic and war didn’t cause the collapse, the decadence caused the war.
3) why Cybele? Cybele doesn’t appear until after the fall of the Bronze Age and is not synonymous with all mother or earth goddesses. Cybele is a schism in Leto and the fall of the Apollo line to the newer Olympian pantheon. She represents a fracturing of the divine couple, of Troy, and of what happened to Andromache. Cybele isn’t an antithesis to Apollo, but a scar from the decadence that brought down the heroic age… that decadence being external to them yet this article sympathizes with the regions that were decadent.

No consistency in this dialectic.
