Ancient cult of Kammammu

H3 in Catalhoyuk at 6690 BCE

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982221004231 sequenced some of the Catalhoyuk samples from the data n = 9 such co-buried individuals associated with Buildings 17, 50, and 114. Some of these H3 subclades are matching the Kamma caste groups people. The Information on Catalhoyuk findings in Anatolia is shown below.

Sk.1885 (burial feature 84, Level South M, Middle period, Building 50): the primary flexed burial of a male child. He was 7 years ± 2yrs at death, excavated in 1995. This individual was interred directly above Sk.2033 (see below) in the southwest corner of B.50. Radiocarbon dating places this individual between 6905–6885 cal BCE (1%) or 6825–6635 cal BCE (92%) or 6625–6600 cal BCE (2%) (Table Z2).

Sk.2033 (burial feature 84, Level South M, Middle period, Building 50): the primary flexed burial of a male child 3 years ± 1yr at death, excavated in 1995. This individual was interred directly below Sk.1885 (see previous) in the southwest corner of B.50. Radiocarbon dating places this individual between 6690-6590 cal BCE (95%) (Table Z2).

Sk.2779.1 (burial feature 265, Level South M, Middle period, Building 50): the primary burial of a male neonate (0-2 months at death based on measurements of the basi-occipital bone), excavated in 1997. The burial was heavily disturbed by Mellaart’s earlier excavations in this building during the 1960s.

Sk.2842 (burial feature 274, Level South M, Middle period, Building 50): a disturbed primary burial of a female infant aged 18 months (±6 months) at death based on dental development. It was excavated in 1998 from Building 50, located in the South Area of the site. The body was placed in a small pit near the center of the main room and was partially disturbed by a later burial. Radiocarbon dating of the petrous bone places this individual between 6690-6505 cal BCE (95%) (Table Z2).

The other Haplogroups in the same burial were G2a2a1 and C1a2

 The H3 haplogroup subclades from Catalhoyuk 7th millenium BC are matching the recent Kamma group in South India.

 It is also pertinent to note that multiple H3 sub-clades under H-Z586- are present among Kamma caste. The parts of Telugu shows close similarity to some parts of Hittite. Some of the Hittite phrases look as it is in the Telugu language used by Kammas. The name Kamma itself probably derived from the ancient goddess Kummanu cult and from previous palaic Kammama cult and continued as Elamite Kamul and Luwian Kamrusepa. The Bronze Age Kamboj group probably adopted from this early Anatolian farmer group god/goddess when it spread into Urals and further.

The Elamite areas also contain some of these Kammamma cult

Pp. 103-119: “A New Reading of the Middle Elamite Text Shun I 9,” by Jalil Bakhtiari

There are four complete or almost complete unprovenanced bricks and twenty-one brick fragments from the site of Toll-e Bard-e Karegar in Khuzestan belonging to the only Elamite inscription mentioning the god Kamul. All of them represent exemplars of the one and the same text (ShuN I 9), written in the name of the Elamite king Shutruk-Nahhunte I (ca. 1190–1155 BCE). The text describes a temple that the king had rebuilt and dedicated to the god Kamul. In this article, a new reading and translation of the last sentence of the text that is divided into four sections and compared with parallels in Old and Middle-Elamite texts, is suggested. In addition, the brick fragments TBK 16 and 28 are reread and classified and TBK 89, 114, 122, and 127 are published.

Interestingly the area bordering Anatolia and the Mittani kingdom was called kummanu

Language features between Telugu and Hittite matching

Even some of the Hittite inscriptions seem to have deep match for the Telugu language. Looking at the following inscription ->

Muršili, after returning from his northwestern campaign simply states:
nu URU Ḫattuši arḫa uu̯anun ‘I came back to Ḫattuša’ (Annaals KBo V 8 IV 2)
I was probably not only one, because Puhvel goes even further and translates ‘came home to Ḫattuša’:

Hittite -> Nu URu Hattusi arha uuanun
Telugu -> Na URu Hattus ki tirigu vachanun

Analysis of Hittite texts show 3% match with Telugu which is equal or more than Sanskrit which is surprising since Hittite has more Indo European than Dravidian/Elamite & Caucausian base. The following cognate percentages uploaded by Nrken19 shows this.
