Уште една од многуте теории кои одат контра Германската ЛАГА дека Словените дошле од некаде! Теоријата е наречена Венетска теорија, има некои претерувања во инсистирањето дека СЛОВЕНИЈА Е ПРАТАТКОВИНА НА СЛОВЕНИТЕ, но сепак дури и оваа теорија неможе да го избегне фактот дека Венетите ги имало и во Макеоднија и во Анадолија (Фриги). Обратете внимание на последниот цитат кој ја објаснува мапата не распространетоста на Венетите низ Европа!
Мапава се однесува за периодот од 1000 години пред Новата Ера!!!
"Jozko Savli maintains that the West Slavs are indigenous to Central Europe and that it was the Slavic Veneti or Wends who were the first disseminators of a major cultural complex in central Europe - the Urnfeld culture. He postulates that in a migration originating circa 1200 BC, they spread over a large area of the continent, (map) including present-day Austria, Slovenia, eastern Switzerland and northern Italy. The basis for this is historical records of contemporary historians, supported by the evidence of place names.
Savli argues firstly that the name Venet or Wend - still used by the northern neighbours in reference to Slovenes - is a shortened version of slo-venets. The change is explained by the fact that Latin did not have the consonantal further argues that no records mention the arrival of Slovenes in the territory. Instead all the records of the 6th century indicate that the territory is an established "provincia" or "marca, which indicates, according to Savli, a defined geographic area, with a form of government, a distinct internal organization, and not, as it is alleged, a tribe of extended families.
Savli goes on to the contemporary records referring to the territory of the present-day Slovenia at its centre. In the earlier records it is referred to as Noricum - not unusual to give Latin names to provinces, says Ssavli - but increasingly in the 6th century there are references variously to "marca Winidorum", "Sclaborum provincia" (sclavi - Slavs; the consonantal grouping scl is usual in Latin, therefore the addition of c), "termini Venetiorum qui et Sclavi dicuntur" (the lands of Veneti, who also call themselves Slavs - c.612) or "Sclavos coinomento Vinedos". All this indicates, according to Savli that the lands and people are well known, established and accepted.
The region thus referred to, became known by the late 6th century as Carantania (map) and people who dwelt within its borders as Carantanos (the name Carantania is first mentioned in 670 AD, which does not preclude its previous existence).
The poet and linguist Matej Bor has deciphered the Venetic and Etruscan inscriptions (inscriptions) with the help of Slovenian language and its surviving dialects, as well as other Slavic languages including Old Church Slavic. It is major contribution towards an understanding of this period of European history and a strong supporting case for J. Ssavli's work, indicating that the Veneti were a Proto-Slavic people, whose language is preserved in the roots of modern Slovenian.
There is strong opposition as well as support for the Venetic theory among historians and aficionados of Slovenian history.
"The areas for which Greek and Latin writers mention Veneti. The earliest historic reference is Enetoi in Asia Minor, Paphlagonia; they are mentioned as allies of Troy by Homer (9th century B.C.). "
