For a short, quick dip into the minefield of historical revisionism, especially the linguistic part of it, try to take a look at "Linguistic reconstruction and revisionist Accounts of Ancient History" by the British linguist Mark Newbrook:

The article starts at page 42 and refers to an older article which is interesting as well: "Cows Dogs and Ancestors. Modern Myths of the Remote Past", which can be read here [url:3f7m5rx0]http://www.skeptics.com.au/journal/1994/2.pdf[/url], starting at page 16.
Newbrook actually refers to some Dutch nutty cases, like the "Oera Linda book", and the Dutch writer/poet Willem Rietbrink, who claims that Dutch is the mother of all Human languages... :wink:
