@God of the Eternal light. They literally have the same names. Zeus Pater. Iupiter. Dyáuṣ-pitṛ́. There is no evidence that people today are less intelligent than people from 10,000 years ago. The rest of your comment is just worthless drivel. You sound like someone who thinks they're deeper and more insightful than they really are. I suggest learning how to think better before trying to sound intelligent.
@God of the Eternal light. Your opinion has pros and cons. If you wanted to say that fight for survival is good for intellect, than you suport Wall street. 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. Now we don`t need to fight but to cooperate and to stop destroying everything. GREED ISN`T GOOD AT ALL!!!

I hate how that guy TIK always tries to push his personal politics when he analyzes Hitler and National Socialism. He tries to tie Hitler to socialism in general as a way to criticize the latter but his analysis really only makes sense if the Social Democrats, the largest party in interwar Germany by far, didn't exist. AND if the Night of the Long Knives hadn't purged Strasser and the rest of the left wing of the Nazi Party in 1934.

All polytheism is originated in Animistic shamanism. the spirits of the mountain, of the water, of the sun, of the sky have developed into Gods after the common spirit of the dead of an ancestor has been differentiated with the spirit of nature and a higher dominating spirit. The divine or aka a God/Goddess
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.
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, I speak Kashmiri (a north Indian Dardic Language). We have a similar word 'Táavan' which is used as an indicative of bad omen or bad luck for/to parents. Weird!
@@whatsallthebrouhaha I suspect as much as well. That's why I had to look back to an earlier example in the kalevala-style poetry. The folk poetry has ancient origins, so there are decent odds that the calling of the overgod of the pagan religion as a sky father is an old tradition, independent of Christianity.
@@IfYouWantThenYouCanHaveIt Finnish "taivas" might be derived from Proto-Balto-Slavic "deiwas" or indeed from Indo-Aryan "daywas". The linguistic ancestors of both the Finns and the Indo-Aryan peoples used to inhabit the Eurasian steppes at the same time. In either case, the word does go back all the way to Dyeus.

In Hawaii "Wakea" is the Skyfather that came down to earth and mated with "Papahanamoku" the earthmother. The couple is considered to be the parents of the Hawaii's Ruling Chiefs and the islands people. Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the Hawaii and actually the largest mountain overall in the world, standing at 33,500ft from base to peak. Mauna Kea is known to many Hawaiians as "Mauna O Wakea" or "Ka Mauna A Kea" meaning (Wakea's Mountain). Super cool video, very fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

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).
I have observed great similarities with Tengrizm and Proto IE Religion. I dont know if Magyar Tengrism has a life tree but Turkic one has and belongs to the Mother Umay. Its interesting to see how similar the religions of the steppes are.
Makes me wonder if they share an even older origin with the PIE mythology, or if there was some sort of cross-cultural influence long after the ancestors of Proto-Uralic and Proto-Indo-European people split off.
"Allfather" = "Father of all the Gods" It has nothing to do with hippy new-age thinking of Odin being some sort of universal deity for all races on earth.
If he is father of all the gods, how can it be possible he isn't everyone's god? Or do you mean he is the father of all the gods of the info European gods?
@@Squadwin This is why we must return to a Pre-Axial age understanding, there is no ONE, LOGOS, MONAD. Nature/Multi-verse doesn't do ONE of anything. Everything is fractal, everything is many, numerous and eternal. For reasons unknown, there are many differences in humankind, races, languages and cultures. But all races have their perceived expression of their Gods. If we are guided by divine forces, they would likely want to be intimate and close to us, so they relate to us in our unique tribes, and nurture each specific tribe in the way they will be closest. Our "All-father" is the encompassing expression of our divine hierarchy. Our Gods serve us in the best way they know how, personally, tribally. Each race and tribe on this living world has their own guardians and divinity that shapes them. There is no ONE governing body in the multi-verse.
@@WilliamW86er Why is everything fractal? The way I see it, as a scientist, everything seems to converge. Ancient Greeks, figured out that this "fractal universe" is made out of one thing, atoms. Hebrews and Persians arrived to the same conclusion but from a spiritual, not scientific approach. Everything can start from 1 fundamental thing (atoms) and still make up trees, seas, humans etc. I do understand what you're saying about cultures and gods being specific to them. I think it has its merits. But cultures change all the time. Then that would mean their gods would have to change. But aren't they eternal? It makes no sense in this way. The only way gods are eternal is if cultures are eternal.

I stumbled on a book today in a charity shop called Cossack: Warrior Riders of the Steppes. As I skimmed through the pages I was reminded of this channel and our nomadic horsemen ancestors who came from that region. Now you upload this, wonderful! Made my day.
On my mother's side, her Male lineage are descended from Cossacks, they had to leave Russia in 1930 because of filthy communism. I found it to be an interesting addition to my mostly Anglo-Scots heritage. While Western Europe was experiencing its prosperity over the hundreds of years since the renaissance, these brave warriors were holding the tides of steppe tribes at bay.
Very true. They have stayed in the land that our ancient ancestors lived in for thousand of years. They defeated and survived through many waves of foreign invasion...adapting to new military strategies over time to help defeat their enemies.
I believe this is largely due to geography. Western Europe was largely made up of woodlands and large forests, which made it impractical for light cavalry, while Eastern Europe was and is largely open fields and steppe land, and lightning fast light cavalry, or what we could call proto-hussars, always dominated warfare in the region.
@@zekun4741 yes, if we look back into our recorded history of the region we can go back as far as Roman historians who noted the Sarmatians were very good cavalry men.

@@jaydengoulding3948 Mostly not. At that time period afro-asiatic (afro-semitic) and indo-german (indo-european) cultures were already splitted. But, indo-europeans conquered most territories from afro-asiatic people. Thats why even old indo-european religion has some defuse connections to other cultures. Way later, 500-300 BC greeks adapted many agypt myths, that's why christianity was so popular in that regions later on. Jesus is an incarnation of agypt god Horus, Maria is Isis and the christian God is a mix of Jahwe and Osiris. In that way, Christianity isn't a real abrahamic religion, it's more a modern form of antic polytheism, while not beeing a polytheism.

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.
In Slavic mythology the sky father is Svarog the Blacksmith God that created Sun and he is father of fire god, he's Best allie is Perun God of Thunder and Perun's wife, Mokosh the Mother earth
Wasn't Mokosh depicted as a man and twin brother of Svarog that steals some golden sand of creation from Svarog hiding it in a tooth cavity and then spawning monsters and beasts from it after creation is set in motion?
@@macchernac8922 @Mac Chernac I never heard of this story and I am a western Slav, in my part of slavic culture we see Svarog as a sky father who created Perun(eastern slavs) Svetovit(western slavs and Weles(eastern slavs) Triglav(western slavs) and they created the world the Mother earth. In western slavic culture we have two twin gods Lel and Polel who are sons of goddes Lada/Lela/Dzidzilela(goddes of Love and marriage) so it is hard to have an opinoon or to write something about what you heard.
@@theredbeard6333 I'm southern Slavic. In our folktales Perun is the ancestor of Slavs, his wife is Ognjena the hearth fire goddess, Svarog is his father and his wives are the Sun goddess Slava and Dawn star goddess Danica (the later also plays her part as one of the three goddesses that weave fate). Veles is viewed as a god of magic and trials, also as a brother of Perun. Mokosh is rarely mentioned besides the creation story for where he messes up by stealing from his brother and accidentally creates monsters. The only female goddess associated with the Earth is Morana who is mostly associated with burials and swamps instead of agriculture. She's depicted as a lover to either Svarog, Perun or Veles. I beleive we may have gotten some Greek influences mixed in there due to christianization but that's about the gist of it.

@@jacobandrews2663 Jesus comes from, Jesus? Second, the original commenter is wrong and doesn't know what they are talking about, but somewhat right.

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.
There is a Mount Meros in Greek mythology, which sounds a awful lot like Mount Meru. Meru became popular in the puranas, i.e., the later Hindu texts. There may have been an exchange between Greek and Hindu cultures.
Religions are fascinating glimpses into early human psychology, wonderful creativity and imagery. The savagery of the Christian conquest has much to answer for concerning the wealth of knowledge we've lost
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. As always, love the video. I'd be very interested to see you make one about the meaning of sacrifice. The wolf video you hinted at piqued my interest as well.
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.
@@vivashvanbhushan3422 Hinduism, Buddhism comes from the same Proto-Indo-Iranian roots as Zoroastrianism. India's history started from the Indus Valley Civilisation that brought many of their teachings from Scythian and middle eastern/Iranian roots.
So very well presented. The commonality between the Celts and Aryans, if they were not the same culture at one time answers a lot of questions about the commonalities amongst the world religions and languages as was written extensively by Joseph Campbell.

There is not only caste system plus there is also much more restrictions on marriages which ensures survival of these genes like "you can't marry people from other caste" this is universal nowadays nobody question this rule plus there is also rule that you can't even marry brahmins from other regions like u can't marry maharastrians brahmins gujrati brahmins and South indian brahmins this rule also ensures that dilution doesn't occur at any level plus.

I'm Brazilian, and even not being an Indo-European culture, the Tupi people had a myth where twins "kûarasy" (sun) and "îasy" (moon) were feed by a female Jaguar (Îagûara in Tupi).
I wonder if the Horse Twins motifs connect to the epic of Gilgamesh at all. Your mention of one having divine parentage and one being “the original” reminded me of Enkidu being created to eventually be a companion to Gilgamesh, essentially being like brothers.
This is so bizarre, Tom. I was literally just watching a webinar from one of my college professors talking about this same topic. The world has a funny way of repeating itself.
In Finnish we also have the word "Taivas" (sky) which is a cognate of Deiwos (PIE "God"), though our chief god is usually considered to be Ukko (the Thunder God), sometimes called Perkele.
Yes! There is sometimes reshuffling of rank between thunder and sky (son and father.) Thor and Odin, for example... thor became more prevalent in some locations
Perkele is the Devil. Not Thor. Edit: many thanks to the many people pointing out later in this thread that the Christianisation of Finland changed the use of Perkele to Devil, it was previously the Baltic thunder God Perun/Perkwonos. I don't need to hear it from everyone...

Reminds me of Tengrism, it may be more shamanistic than polytheistic, yet still a great admiration for the sky god.
All polytheism is originated in Animistic shamanism.
the spirits of the mountain, of the water, of the sun, of the sky have developed into Gods after the common spirit of the dead of an ancestor has been differentiated with the spirit of nature and a higher dominating spirit. The divine or aka a God/Goddess
@@Arius90 Subotai was also the name (or very close to I can’t remember exactly) of one of Genghis Khans most badass generals
Well if you think of it, those Proto-Indo-Europeans were steppe people and their culture was probably similar to later Tengrist Turks and Mongols.
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.
@@wyattspittler2771 You're right. The writers picked a Tengrist name for a Tengrist character.
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.
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.
I just realized how similiar the word ''Taivas'' is to word Dyeus, Tiwas, etc.
My mind just blew open.
Interesting, I speak Kashmiri (a north Indian Dardic Language). We have a similar word 'Táavan' which is used as an indicative of bad omen or bad luck for/to parents. Weird!
@@whatsallthebrouhaha I suspect as much as well. That's why I had to look back to an earlier example in the kalevala-style poetry. The folk poetry has ancient origins, so there are decent odds that the calling of the overgod of the pagan religion as a sky father is an old tradition, independent of Christianity.
@@IfYouWantThenYouCanHaveIt Finnish "taivas" might be derived from Proto-Balto-Slavic "deiwas" or indeed from Indo-Aryan "daywas". The linguistic ancestors of both the Finns and the Indo-Aryan peoples used to inhabit the Eurasian steppes at the same time.
In either case, the word does go back all the way to Dyeus.

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).
I have observed great similarities with Tengrizm and Proto IE Religion. I dont know if Magyar Tengrism has a life tree but Turkic one has and belongs to the Mother Umay. Its interesting to see how similar the religions of the steppes are.

I stumbled on a book today in a charity shop called Cossack: Warrior Riders of the Steppes.
As I skimmed through the pages I was reminded of this channel and our nomadic horsemen ancestors who came from that region.
Now you upload this, wonderful! Made my day.
On my mother's side, her Male lineage are descended from Cossacks, they had to leave Russia in 1930 because of filthy communism. I found it to be an interesting addition to my mostly Anglo-Scots heritage. While Western Europe was experiencing its prosperity over the hundreds of years since the renaissance, these brave warriors were holding the tides of steppe tribes at bay.
The Cossack lifestyle was and is very Indo-European. It makes sense because they also traditionally lived in the Pontic-Caspian steppe.
Very true. They have stayed in the land that our ancient ancestors lived in for thousand of years. They defeated and survived through many waves of foreign invasion...adapting to new military strategies over time to help defeat their enemies.
I believe this is largely due to geography. Western Europe was largely made up of woodlands and large forests, which made it impractical for light cavalry, while Eastern Europe was and is largely open fields and steppe land, and lightning fast light cavalry, or what we could call proto-hussars, always dominated warfare in the region.
@@zekun4741 yes, if we look back into our recorded history of the region we can go back as far as Roman historians who noted the Sarmatians were very good cavalry men.

Edit: OMG THE CHANNEL GOD HAS GAVE ME A MINI HEART, THANKS!!! ,from Thailand
I am from India.. And wanted to know that in Thailand people still know about Hindu Gods/stories? Like Ramayana or mahabharata? Or they follow bhuddism only
@@kanekirana9530 yo, here's an answer
Thai culture especially those that link to the monarchy have huge reference in Ramayana, the king was deitified as an avatar of Vishnu ,some even had "Rama" in their name. And Ramayana also being popular and even got adapted into Thai version called Ramakirti
Unfortunately, Mahabharat was less interested in Thailand.
@@supisadhamabutra1339 so it's kind of ramayan is adapted into thai bhuddist culture?
@@supisadhamabutra1339 it makes sense why ramayan was adapted rather than mahabharat, especially in the royal lineages of thailand.
because Ramayan is a story about a great king and how a king should behave, according to dharma.
The temple complex shown at the very end of the video is the Ellora Caves, and the big building was the Kailash temple, the largest monolithic structure in the world. I’ve had the privilege of visiting there twice, and its amazing.

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.

In Slavic mythology the sky father is Svarog the Blacksmith God that created Sun and he is father of fire god, he's Best allie is Perun God of Thunder and Perun's wife, Mokosh the Mother earth
Wasn't Mokosh depicted as a man and twin brother of Svarog that steals some golden sand of creation from Svarog hiding it in a tooth cavity and then spawning monsters and beasts from it after creation is set in motion?
@@macchernac8922 @Mac Chernac I never heard of this story and I am a western Slav, in my part of slavic culture we see Svarog as a sky father who created Perun(eastern slavs) Svetovit(western slavs and Weles(eastern slavs) Triglav(western slavs) and they created the world the Mother earth. In western slavic culture we have two twin gods Lel and Polel who are sons of goddes Lada/Lela/Dzidzilela(goddes of Love and marriage) so it is hard to have an opinoon or to write something about what you heard.
@@theredbeard6333 I'm southern Slavic. In our folktales Perun is the ancestor of Slavs, his wife is Ognjena the hearth fire goddess, Svarog is his father and his wives are the Sun goddess Slava and Dawn star goddess Danica (the later also plays her part as one of the three goddesses that weave fate).
Veles is viewed as a god of magic and trials, also as a brother of Perun.
Mokosh is rarely mentioned besides the creation story for where he messes up by stealing from his brother and accidentally creates monsters.
The only female goddess associated with the Earth is Morana who is mostly associated with burials and swamps instead of agriculture.
She's depicted as a lover to either Svarog, Perun or Veles.
I beleive we may have gotten some Greek influences mixed in there due to christianization but that's about the gist of it.
To be honest I wish that Survivethejive would do more videos on slavic paganism, Polabian slavs, difference between western, eastern and southern slavs and also similarities, because he knows waaaay moooreee that any other historians
@@theredbeard6333 The problem we face with Slavic folklore is that we lack written sources. All though there were some runic findings last century they were mostly dismissed as fragmentary and ornamental. Then there's the problem that Communism presented with the elimination of all cultural traits not tied directly into it self. There was a cult of Xhors (one of the horse riding twins and a god of fire) that survived in western Ukraine all the way UNTIL Stalin ordered their extermination.
Among the ancient Slavs, the supreme god was called "Svarog". In Sanskrit, heaven is "svarga"
I always thought it was Perun?

While mentioning Germanic, Latin, Greek, and Indian mythology, why did you left out Slavic pantheon that covering Indo-European people from Prague to Ural mountain, including the Pontic steppe, IE's homeland? Slavic mythology is absolutely comparable with Greek and Germanic:
Svarog - Sky father
Perun - Zeus, Thor
Rozanica - Aphrodite
...etc etc...
Cheers.
Svarog seems cognate with Sanskrit “svarg” which mean heaven or abode of gods.
Because almost nothing is known about Slavic mythology.
Ah yes, the singular Ural Mountain.
All europeans are aryans. They're all indo-europeans.
So don't feel left out brothers. Ethnic europeans are all indo-europeans.

@@akiraasmr3002 Jesus and Yahweh come from completely different mythologies. They originate from semitic beliefs in the levant, from a previously polytheistic pantheon.
@@jacobandrews2663 Jesus comes from, Jesus? Second, the original commenter is wrong and doesn't know what they are talking about, but somewhat right. Zoroastrianism heavily influenced Judaism and later, Christianity. While the Torah is as far as we know the closest we get to the original religion, everything written afterwards is directly influenced by Zoroastrianism.
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.
There is a Mount Meros in Greek mythology, which sounds a awful lot like Mount Meru. Meru became popular in the puranas, i.e., the later Hindu texts. There may have been an exchange between Greek and Hindu cultures.
@@caraxes_noodleboi Very interesting.
@@caraxes_noodleboi unrelated to mythology but King Puru from India became known as King Porus in Greece. Meru and Meros are definitely the same
At 18:53 the Ashvin twins are also mentioned in Mahabharata where they reincarnate as Nakula and Sahadeva.

Religions are fascinating glimpses into early human psychology, wonderful creativity and imagery. The savagery of the Christian conquest has much to answer for concerning the wealth of knowledge we've lost
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.
As always, love the video. I'd be very interested to see you make one about the meaning of sacrifice. The wolf video you hinted at piqued my interest as well.
Mahayana Buddhism is very polytheistic
It's from Hinduism only, Sky is consciousness, Earth is Energy
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.
@@JesusSavesSouls lol no. Buddhism literally originated from Hinduism.
@@vivashvanbhushan3422 Hinduism, Buddhism comes from the same Proto-Indo-Iranian roots as Zoroastrianism. India's history started from the Indus Valley Civilisation that brought many of their teachings from Scythian and middle eastern/Iranian roots.
What a great video. Thank you so much for the effort that went in to making it.

So very well presented. The commonality between the Celts and Aryans, if they were not the same culture at one time answers a lot of questions about the commonalities amongst the world religions and languages as was written extensively by Joseph Campbell. These videos really pulled a lot of Campbell's stories together for me.

Beautiful. As always, top notch content.
: The Indo-European languages have a history of over 3,000 years. Their unattested, reconstructed ancestor, Proto-Indo-European, is believed to have been spoken well before 4000 bc in a region somewhere to the north or south of the Black Sea. The family comprises twelve branches: Indic (including Sanskrit and its descendants), Iranian, Anatolian (an extinct group including Hittite and other languages), Armenian, Hellenic (Greek), Albanian (possibly descended from Illyrian), Italic (including Latin and the Romance languages), Celtic, Tocharian (an extinct group from central Asia), Germanic (including English, German, Dutch, Gothic, and the Scandinavian languages), Baltic, and Slavic (including Russian, Czech, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Croatian).

I agree with u 100% india is not a brown country rather there are white people( they have type 2 or type 3 light skin and even light eyes like green and grey eyes but they had dark hair like black or very dark brown) but these people gets tanned to become light brown but in winters or those who lives in foothills of Himalayas are certainly white skinned, then we have brown people(which are majority in india they mostly have brown skin with caucasian facial structure), then we have black indians who have black skin( they may have caucasoid facial structure but also australoid structure, australoid facial structure with black skin mostly found in South india and east india)
@@starship3812 There are white people who are more or less race mixed, while retaining their Nordic looking features. Some of these white populations exist elsewhere throughout Asia and probably descend from ancient Aryans. They are vastly outnumbered by various other races from every caste (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras, and whatever the "untouchables" are called that most castes perceive as subhuman). Some Indians, particularly in southern India and Sri Lanka share some traits with Negroids. There are Negritos tribes in the Andaman and Nicobar islands that resemble Melanesians off the coast of Malaysia and Thailand. Some uncontacted tribes have been identified, they killed a white American visitor a couple decades ago, and have fired some arrows at coast guard helicopters.
@@Channel-sp3fp yeah i agreed I am from varanasi, UP india I am gangatic planes brahmin and my uncle had green eyes and white skin and all skulk shapes like aryans except his lips but in my neighborhood there is a family who is also brahmin one of their child had white and green eyes and total ancient aryan features he doesn't seem mixed there are many one but he seems more pure we retained these features due to caste system otherwise these features will gets diluted very long ago and we looked like other adivasis from gangatic planes earlier I also used to think that caste system is very bad endogamy too much restrictions now I feel proud about those people who are very smart people becz of them still I had some features like cream skin, tall height and some facial features. There is not only caste system plus there is also much more restrictions on marriages which ensures survival of these genes like "you can't marry people from other caste" this is universal nowadays nobody question this rule plus there is also rule that you can't even marry brahmins from other regions like u can't marry maharastrians brahmins gujrati brahmins and South indian brahmins this rule also ensures that dilution doesn't occur at any level plus.
@@Channel-sp3fp Many south indians brahmins and bengali brahmins came and settled down here becz varanasi is holy city and these days intermarriage between native brahmins of these place and south indian and bengali brahmins occur this is restricted but also people do this cuz of spirituality that south indians are shiv bakht and more knowledgeable brahmins etc etc so with bengali brahmins if this trend continues in near future these features will get lost but still many people don't marry with outsider brahmins.
I'm Brazilian, and even not being an Indo-European culture, the Tupi people had a myth where twins "kûarasy" (sun) and "îasy" (moon) were feed by a female Jaguar (Îagûara in Tupi).

In Finnish we also have the word "Taivas" (sky) which is a cognate of Deiwos (PIE "God"), though our chief god is usually considered to be Ukko (the Thunder God), sometimes called Perkele.
Yes! There is sometimes reshuffling of rank between thunder and sky (son and father.) Thor and Odin, for example... thor became more prevalent in some locations
@@Asa-bh7ziits less about location and more about social status. Odin is more popular among the nobility, whereas Thor was the main god of farmers
