   A DIVISION OF THE GENERAL TH OF UI-RA-LA, ANCIENT BOAT PEOPLES

While the VENEDE (Finnic-Estonian for '(people) of the boats' discussed here are the ancient pre-Roman era ancient history Veneti, Venedi, Eneti, etc, who were proferrional traders emerging out of the northern aboriginal boat peoples, and belong to the general subject of UIRALA, the subject gets a separate menu here, since almost all the writing about them surrounds the inscriptions they left in ancient northern Italy in the several centuries before the Romans- Since most writing on the subject had been done into a pdf file form and are also posted on https://independent.academia.edu/APaabo   Thus ALL subjects beyond the developent of professional trading among the boat peoples after about 5000 years ago will be treated separately in this section.
NOTE: The ancient pre-Roman Veneti, should not be confused with the historic Veneti who adapted to and assimilated to their surrounding peoples during and after the Roman Era from dramatic changes to Europe due to direct and indirect impacts of the Roman Empire.
