There is some evidence of sub-mycenean/Luwian settlements in Apulia, which may be the core of the myth. But thinking something invented by Virgil 1500 years later is literally true is bizarre
To think you're the first person to think of it is even weirder lol.
Techbro culture's ruling class is absolutely full of "history is bunk" smuglords that repeat history in a blind stumbling way and call themselves genius pioneers.
What do you mean? Jumping to spurious conclusions based on gut feelings and vague word associations is definitely a valid methodology that certainly doesn't rehash word for word the exact same random theories by anglo aristocrat failsons in the 19th century when they took time off their phrenology blogging to go look at a collection of looted artifacts/contemporary forgeries.

really? any links i can read?
This pdf (requires a login, alas) was my first introduction to the subject. There's also a few scholars that think the Etruscan language has a Luwian substrate but they're considered a bit fringe, especially those who say Etruscan is an Anatolian Indo-European language.
