The Greek language is considered a reasonably conservative in certain aspects, such as members of the Indo. Therefore, the Greek is important to reconstruct roman ancient the Indo laringales or apofonia system.
Several authors also consider the culture of ancient Greece retains many features of Indo culture. Part of Geneva that deduction greek ancient would be reflected in the Greek lexicon. If the Greek is the continuation of the proto-Indo-European, but exactly one of its dialects, Greek culture is the continuation of the proto-Indo-European culture or a particular local and temporal phase of it. In fact, most of the Greek lexicon lexicon continuous proto-Indo-European, although it is also true that in Greek there is no shortage of tracks preindoeuropeas languages.
You can rebuild some good Indo culture through archeology, either by comparing the institutions of the various peoples of modern art whom were born (the art prints Greek one), either through the study of the lexicon. It is called Linguistic paleontology: retrieves things wall art through words. Was initiated by A. Kuhn in the mid-nineteenth century and their latest results can be seen in the book quoted from T. V. V. Gamkrelidze and V. Ivanov .
Very generally speaking, are reconstructed so the characteristics of a warrior and nomadic people who traveled in their horse-drawn carriages and settled in fortified places. It was a Neolithic culture but who knew the bronze, as well as ceramics, woodwork and weaving, had domesticated animals like the bull and the cow, sheep, pig and dog cultivated barley and hunted and gathered fruit.
Their social organization was based on the patriarchal family, which joined other primary fratrias and within tribes sometimes coalition headed by a king with military power, religious and legal, but limited by an assembly of warriors. We know their religion, their god of the day Dyus, their sacrifices and libations, of oral poetry, epic and lyric.
The Greek language inherited most of the vocabulary which reflects this type of culture. For example the name of the fortified city () the social organization and family ( family sir husband  the husband wife  father and several other family names) names of the house () home () and arts work of mud wood clothing fabric etc. ( etc.). () verb cook plowing ( cf. plow) knitting () order (). Also the names of the god of heaven () pets (  etc.) Barley ( ) and honey (). The means of transport and contemporary art war ( horse  wheel  art car ).
Some words that came into Indo-Greek such as the bull the lion () the wine () maybe New york even the horse is probably viajeras words" which either IE or the Greek took the cultural complexes of the Middle East. They are not Indo-parallel languages (Sumerian kartvelico Semitic etc.).. From the Greek point of view are already Indo words. It may happen however that the museum art cultural circumstances and the words continue to calligraphy change but change their meaning. The can build in stone and not only in wood may no longer be mud the broncista becomes blacksmith is now the fratria member of the old and mothers brother () becomes simply "brother." If bhgos was there  as they say there was a change of direction when it became oak oak.  Longer just garden and has nothing to do with patio cut.
On the other hand do not consider the IE as a unit. Culturally it seems clear that if the domestication of the horse and the heavy use of car transport are very old the car light war pulled by two horses probably recent about the middle of the second millennium and as the ride. On the other hand certain cultural terms (eg the name of the strength or the bronze) seem to be in dialect. Turn the Greek term may differ from dialect to dialect.
But its not just vocabulary. Today it is agreed that the first Greek poetry epic lyrics about everything but also continued the style of poetry with its oral Indo formulas its like him its highest or even metric.
