There are hosts of information online about this. I have documents galore on this, and I sort of need help sorting it out. But anyway, lets talk about it.
I'm sorry that it took me so long to find this thread of yours. Having read those things you point to, I'm interested in talking with you about this.
And you've probably found this website, too, right?
Six Days of Creation – Christian Hospitality
Berosus is quoted, just as does Cory's Fragments... I'm always amused by the people who want to call what is certainly an inconvenient history for them... a forgery.
The best thing they can do is bury it, disallow your search for these things, and deny deny deny... and if it's in a non-English language, don't allow translations to be published. What used to be not talked about at all... once the smoke has cleared and all the mirrors have been put away... becomes more and more common knowledge aiding common sense. When I first found this talk of Peleg the Pelasgian, I'd already been aware that Greeks weren't indigenes... that the coming of the Greeks had displaced what is clearly the division of the nations, starting from "Thrace" (pre-Thracian Scythian tribes). People who mention the Pelasgians at all seem to think that not much is known about them... obviously thinking that the Greeks did
not take Pelasgian writings and rewrite it in their IE language. It is a very hard thing, these days, to tease apart the threads of IE that are strangling the History of Pelasgians, from the non-Mythological Legends of Peleg. Because you really have to go back to the beginning, here's this:
"Another one, which is the important point in this context, is "skoi," placed after the more ancient name "Peleg," giving the compound form "Pelegskoi." These are the "Pelasgians." The Pelasgians are very much of a mystery, for although they appear to have been quite powerful, it is not clear where they came from or what happened to them. When the Thracians descended to the Aegean from the north in the 14th century B.C., they displaced the Pelasgians from the territory which they held between the Hebrus and the Strymon. It is curious to find the Pelasgians occupying a territory adjacent to a river, the Hebrus, bearing a name so much reminiscent of Eber who, according to Genesis 10:25, was their father. After they were displaced, these people seem to have been swallowed up by the Greek population with whom they were subsequently confused. Munro says: (133)
"The Pelasgic nation ceased to exist as such and the Ionian name was adopted, probably among the mixed communities on the Asiatic side."
[...]
Their ancestor, Peleg, received his name because of an event which has been variously interpreted. In the Book of Jasher (2:11), which is ascribed to Alcuin and is very likely spurious, there is an interesting observation with respect to this man:
"It was Peleg who first invented the hedge and the ditch, the wall and bulwark: and who by lot divided the lands among his brethren."
[...]
One more word about Peleg: In the International Standard Biblical Encyclopedia reference is made to a Babylonian geographic fragment (80-6-17, 504) which has a series of ideographs tentatively read out as Pulukku, perhaps a modified form of Peleg. This is followed by the words "Sha ebirti," which could either signify "Pulukku who was of Eber," or it could be a composite phrase "Pulukku-of-the-Crossing." Conceivably a settlement of Pelegites was established on the river at a fordable point, this river afterwards receiving the name Hebrus. Whatever the truth of the matter, the word "Peleg" seems somehow to have come down to us also through Greek in the form "pelagos," meaning "sea." If there is a real connection this might suggest a further idea, namely, that the "division" took place when men began to migrate for the first time by water. The phrase "the earth was divided" would be interpreted to mean "the peoples of the earth were divided," i.e., by water."
Noah (Vol.1) - Pt.II, CH.4
Notice that Munro from the above quote, doesn't say that the Pelasgians ceased to exist, just that their nation (as such) did. These Pelasgians are what I'm using for my avatar...
The Kampos Pelasgian Statue
Fig.62 Gold Head from silver cup
"In 1890 Tsountas opened another domed tomb at Kampos on the west side of Mount Taygetus, not far from the site of the ancient Gerenia. [...] We saw that not only in Aigolis and Boeotia, but also in Etruria, Sardinia and Spain, spirals of gold, silver and bronze have been discovered. These have been commonly regarded as earrings, but it has been pointed out by M. George Perrot, that there are no hooks to suspend them to the ears, and that several have been found with a single interment. He well explains (after the scholiast) their true use from the passage in the Iliad where the Trojan Panthous is described as having the tresses of his hair compressed tightly in gold and silver."
---William Ridgeway, Early Age of Greece, v1
Wire-wrapped hair, from Pelasgia to Liguria (which is what Iberia was called, according to Strabo). And we find these Pelasgians as the first settlers of Rome, according to many, including Neibuhr's History of Rome.
This same Pelasgian profile is found on the Priest-King at Knossos.
