The ancient Iberians believe that they were built by giants called Mairu.

>Mairu (plural: mairuak), also called Maideak, Mairiak, Saindi Maidi (in Lower Navarre), Intxisu in the Bidasoa valley are creatures of Basque mythology. They were giants who built dolmens or harrespil. Like the dolmens, they are only found in mountains. They are often associated with lamia, though these are known in all the Basque Country

>Mairu could mean "moor" in Basque. This term is used with the sense of 'non-Christian' (Pagan) to refer to former civilizations or megalithic monuments

>The origin of the Mairu is thought to be as old as the "mouros encantados" in Portuguese (Spanish: moros encantados), who are thought to be the remnant of old pre-Roman deities

Gravesite.
The "Helle" is the roof-stone of the grave of the PIE cultures. The "Hellenes" literally mean the "Gravemound" people. Helen was simply named after Hela, the "female" equivalent to Osiris or Hades of the Yamnaya.

The norse/PIE word and concept for "Hell" is about the grave itself as a stand-in for the original cave-roof that the Epigravettians/Aesir used as gravesites.

Lazarus was raised from Hell.
Jesus stood up from Hell.
Because "Hell" etymologically directly refers to SLANTING ROOFSTONE.

retarded. you are not accounting for grims law. germanic initial h corresponds to k in other ie langs. and greek initial h came about from a change from ie initial s

>>17937135
so according to your own rebuttal, we should expect "Cellar" to be related in origin, meaning and spelling to Hell? oh wait... it is.

>>17937196
>meaning and spelling to Hell
what the fuck does that mean. in the post i replied you claim the words hellen and helen are related to hel which they are not. the cognate root to hel- in greek is kel-, which gives κελυφος(shell), καλυμμα(cover) and καλυπτω among others.

I insist that you sleep on this and look closer a second time.

The druids would hold ceremonies inside in order to initiate new druids. The opening of the door faced some sort of equinox and the inside would be lit up for the ceremony

ok i cannot resist, helens name derives not from the Helotes, but from the perioikoi's status, which were those that DWELT loosely in greece before the spartans and PIE made most of them and other meds into their lower class. But, because the Periokoi were the "dwellers" of the caves of greece, they too were referred to as "Hellenes" which were similar in root to that of he "Hel"otes, because they already HAD housing, whereas the Helotes were lowrung people made INTO livestock under the ROOF/HEL of the house.
tldr;
The Hellenes derived their name from the high-ranking native perioikoi of greece that were held above the lowest slaves/Helots in status.
