The same is with telling that our children are weak. I don`t like to my children to live in wild west with colt in the hand. Alsotoday a lot of children, people are dying every day of starvation and illness. Maybe in next 20-30 years west civilization will be inferior to third world - China, Brazil, India etc. Nowadays world has more power, science, resources and knowlidge then people in all history until now. It is just matter of ethics and humanity to make a world better. But if I look almost all comments, everybody is interesting about battles, conquering, fight, defeat etc. That in`t proper way to survive onthe earth. In last 30 years we have done everything to destroy earth. The same future as people on Easter island have done in history. They have cut allthe threes on island and hacehad problems withfood and other condition. Our wayis today the same, just we don`t haveanother island to rescue ourselve.

      Different culture, same spirit. Appreciation of and gratitude towards nature's elements, with personification (deistic) or without personification (animistic), is ubiquitous among non-Abrahamic traditions.
      This is why Indo-Europeanism, Dravidianism, Tengrism, Korean Shamanism, Daoism, etc. are mutually compatible, and when they meet, tend to create syncretic cultures rather than communal enmity. There have been wars between some of said cultures, though, but these wars were not a means of religious subjugation, but of redistribution of wealth.

    In Finnish, the Christian God is frequently referred to as "Taivaan Isä" which means father of heaven or father in the heavens. As you may or may not already know, Finnish language and culture contain many ancient Germanic, Pre-Germanic and Proto-Indo-European words and elements, so this may be significant. This all said, I cannot say how old this custom of calling god the father of heaven is. It might not be connected to the Indo-European custom.
    Then again, in kalevalan folk poetry, one of the most common epithets of Ukko the Overgod is "Taatto taivahinen". Taatto is a very archaic word meaning father, and seems like it might be a loan from Proto-Germanic "attô". Taivahinen means "heavenly" or "sky-residing". The form of this word is archaic.

    • @macchernac8922

      The slavic word for father is ''Tata'' so ''Taatto tivahinen'' would be ''Father God in the Sky''. Another thing of note is how the word for ''God'' and ''Giant'' are used interchangeably more often than not and Giants being part of the family for most of the Indo-European pantheons.

    Interesting. In Hungarian paganism (which is Tengriism) there is only one god, the Skygod, or Skyfather. His consort is Earthmother, their daughter is Tündér Ilona who is queen of fairies (tündér) and seems to be identical to Greek Helena Tunderos.
    Skyfather is the sun itself which travels through the sky at day on his horse pulled chariot. Pulling this chariot is heavy, so the horses sweat, this sweat falls down to Earth and creates morning dew.
    In mythology we have something similar to horse riding twin brothers. There were two brothers, Hunor and Magor who became the mythical archfathers of Huns and Magyars (Hungarians).

      Your intuition is right, but here is in short the truth( FROM THE RELIGION OF PELASGIANS your ancestors)
      Anu the God( who's reflection in our universe is sun) looked at mother Gea( earth) and thought of children, he struck then a boalder with Devine light(lightning) and created the first humans, and seeing them children rooming naively, struck the bolder again and created Mitra to be a teacher and guide for them.
      Later Mitra killed the solar bool and brought abundance to land and people... ultimately this is what Spanish culture preserves, a history 9000 years old.

    Another great video on a difficult topic. Another connection between the indo-european faiths is the idea that mountains are the home of the gods. This is very clear in Greek mythology with Mount Olympus but it is also present in the hindu faith such as Mount Meru and mount Kailash. Norse is a little different but Heimdallr is said to live upon Himinbjörg mountain and as a guardian figure between the world of the gods and the other realms it seems likely to me that mountains were viewed as boundaries between the realm of the skygods and the earth.

    In Mahayana Buddhism, the mind is compared to the sky: infinite, clear, and indestructible; it cannot be pierced by the sword or burned by fire; although clouds come and go and its appearance changes, the true nature of sky is formless and immutable. For me these are pointers toward the metaphysical significance of the Sky-father. The hieros gamos represents the absolute impregnating the manifest universe, which, represented by earth, is full of concrete, particular, and impermanent forms in contrast to the empty and unified nature of sky. This relationship is also expressed in Samkhya, in which purusha, consciousness, is itself formless, but takes on the appearance of prakriti, nature, when it comes in contact with it, although purusha is really only the matrix in which prakriti enacts the interplay of the gunas, qualities. Just as the the Earth-mother is impregnated by the Sky-father, prakriti begins to move and change when it comes into contact with purusha, the way a flower moves to face the sun.

      Buddhism comes from Persia, Persia from Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia from Sumer, who really gave birth to the whole world. Sumerian culture practically single handedly invented every building block to civilisation, the reason why Mesopotamia is called the "cradle of civilisation". This then gave birth to the Proto-Indo-European & Proto-Indo-Iranian languages/religions/philosophies which have spread out to the four corners of the earth. (This all aligns with the biblical history = Sumer being the beginning of the world, and then a separation from Babylon (Sumer).
      The Buddha is called "Shakyamuni" (Sage of the Shakyas), Śākya has the same origin as “Scythian”, called Sakas in India. Who were originally Iranian peoples that mainly settled in the Kingdom of Urartu (modern day Armenia/Iran (Aryans)) who spread across to Europe, Eurasian Steppe, Central Asia and Northern India (Nepal/Tibet). The ancient Armenians called themselves "Children of the sun". Ironically all Sakas (Shakyas) called themselves Ādicca nāma gottena "kinsmen of the sun" or "descendants of the sun". Coincidence? The Buddha states in the Sutta-Nipāta, "They are of the sun-lineage" (adiccagotta).
      Buddhism is merely philosophies taken from older traditions, and specially elements from Zoroastrianism (Persian/Iranian influence). Three Vajras ( "body, speech and mind") is from the Zoroastrian "Good thoughts, Good words and Good deeds" which is the core of Zoroastrian teachings called the "Threefold Path of Asha". Other teachings on duality and individual judgement mimic within Buddhism. "Haoma" is a divine plant in Zoroastrianism and in later Persian culture and mythology. Haoma has its origins in Indo-Iranian religion and is the cognate of Vedic soma. In Old Persian cuneiform it was known as 𐏃𐎢𐎶 hauma, as in the DNa inscription (c. 490 BC) which makes reference to "haoma-drinking Scythians" (Sakā haumavargā). There is also the Tibetan Buddhist sect called "Bon" who scholars have said the religion came from Persia. And most importantly the Vedic gods of Mitra, Varuna, Indra are written on Mitanni documents (Whos kingdom was in Iran/Armenia) and align with Zoroastrian gods (Mithra & Mitra etc).
      There are many things I could go into, but essentially Far Eastern religions and philosophies are born from Sumer, which the bible gave an accurate description in Genesis, and which the Book of revelation calls "Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth." - Revelation 17:5. Meaning false teachings from across the earth came from an even more ancient false teaching that begun in Sumer (Babylon). The bible gives the true account on history which leads to many revelations. Jesus Christ being the greatest of all.
