The Indo-European Sky Father
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
- The Proto-Indo-Europeans of the Pontic Caspian Steppe and other parts of Eastern Europe in the neolithic worshipped a paternal deity who they called Dyḗus ph₂tḗr “sky father”. With comparative linguistics and comparative mythology we can learn a lot about this ancient god from whom Greek Zeus, Roman Jupiter, Irish Dagda, Vedic Dyáuṣ Pitṛ́ and Norse Odin and many others also derive. In this video I explain what we know about the god’s mythic roles relating to cattle, his relationship to other gods in the Indo-European religion and his association with different animals in later pagan religions.
The Sky Father is the most well attested of all the Indo-European gods and is central to our understanding of Proto-Indo-European religion.

It's quite alien to us Indians how you Westerners use 'cow' as an insult, when the cow is such a massively useful animal, and especially so to you Western folk who are mostly lactose tolerant.
@@pruthweeshasalian3688 That's true, but nobody wants to fuck a cow. That is the context the insult is used in. It means that a female is fat and sexually undesirable. It doesn't mean that she can't make a sandwich or do the dishes.
I've always wondered where the concept of 'mother nature' comes from. Learning that she is the counterpart of a 'skyfather' makes so much sense. Thank you!
When it rains, that's the holy union. By ancient standard's.

The way he combines culture-history-linguistics and religion is incredible.
The evidence of such connections to other cultures are weak at best and such similarities are not that uncommon because such ideals can come into existence separately believing otherwise is like calling people dumb, stupid or that such ancient people did not have imagination or had trouble coming up with their own stories that is of course a way of insulting other cultures and religions and even less intellect peoples can achieve more with writing and storing information and knowledge and a class of educated people since knowledge and technology is build upon knowledge and technology that needs to be passed on to new generations and is very possible that modern man is less intellect then he was in the past and less able to survive in the conditions of their ancestors existed in thus the belief of Europeans greatness being locked in the ice until it thawed allowing the growth of nations that are maintained by the food source farms, how many of your children will survive in the far north without heating and technology ?What choices will cause them to live or die and reproduce offspring that may or may not live to carry on the blood-line and traits of their forefathers. The northern wind of death was even more ruthless in such ages making man hide in holes and tents thus hel is frozen and unheated, how many millions of babies died of the cold over such generations? The modern age is where weakness grows and reproduces more easily and can even result in the dumbing down and the corruption of the populations.

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.

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.

Funny how indra and zeus from hindu/greek mythology have the same story as well. Both lived in mountains(amravati/olympus) and fought the giant serpent vritra/typhon using vajra/lightning bolt.
It does sound funny. But if you look at how these languages are intertwined it makes sense. All of us are linked in some way.
Look up a guy named Velikovsky, specifically his book "Worlds in Collision". Fascinating stuff with a lot of comparitive mythology.

Who cares ? All gods are false gods.
Thank you so much!! This is amazing!!
@הרב בן הרב בן גור אריה יהודה All gods are false, and the judeo-Christian god was also one in a polytheistic system of Canaanite deities with wives and children and everything until Abraham just decided that wasn’t the case.
Latvian mythology doesn't really have the twins, but it does have a thunder god. His name literally translates to "thunder"

You forgot to mention that Myceaenic greeks worshipped a sky god called Diwo, which is closer to the PIE Dyaus than the later Zeus
You thought it was Zeus, but it was I, Diwo!
That sounds a lot like dio in italian
Couldn't it be just another case form of the noun? Since genitive of Zeus is Dios, dative is Dii and accusativ is Dia. There are for sure correspondences.
Considering how psychotic of a diety zeus was, i think Dio from jojo would be a good Derivative
Do the Mycenian Greeks originate from the island called Crete?? I think they vanished and the Minoan greeks survived.

@Hardline Firewire Yeah well I'm pretty sure a Russian American Jew (Sergei Brin I think) started Google so makes sense for TH-cam to be sensitive to Jewish concerns overall. 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.
He's a well known racist and fascist tho, some horrible connections to political groups. A few of his videos are horribly researched and based on century outdated racial theory, such as one on Ancient Greek ethnicity. He's got a good presentation voice, but as for the quality of the actual history, it's questionable at best and outright missinformation at worst.
This division of Poseidon and Zeus is quite interesting - in Mycanean Greece, Poseidon was considered as the most important God before the Dark Ages came along and allowed a power shift to happen.
Just like indra and vishnu .
What is your source for claiming Poseidon was the most important for Mycenaeans?
@@tamerofhorses2200 Check the Overly Sarcastic Productions videos - they have some neat videos about the evolution of Greek mythology.
@@MegaMementoMori I mean a properly academic source. Does Overly Sarcastic Productions cite actual archeological and/or linguistic evidence?
@@tamerofhorses2200 I am not writing academic documents but replying to a YT comment, so the source research standard is slightly lower. I think that such big and erudite channels would not resolve to taking facts out of thin air - at most they would pick one of the many different interpretations if there was a scholarly debate. But again - I do not link Greek mythology with my career, so this is good enough for me.
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
@@Ebionarius 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.
This explains why Cow (cattle) is sacred in Hinduism, the whole civilization is circled around it.
@@OkarinHououinKyouma yes in the bible, in the Quran it’s depicted as 6 long periods or eons, not specified. Lol offended indian

@@lets_wrapitup yeah earth and vegetation came eons before Sun like stated in your false new man made religion. Hinduism is considered oldest active religion by both western and eastern historians
@@abhishekrai1060 stated where? Dont just claim bs and and not back it up. And you don’t even know the definition of Islam, when you do get back to me. Some people don’t even recognise Hinduism as a religion, and I’d say the same about islam, Islam, Christianity, Judaism are all the same, but Islam would be the purest out the 3. And all that it means is to be monotheistic, to submit to the will of God... even plants are Muslims. So if you have a brain you!d realise the first creation would be by definition, a Muslim. I don’t care if there was a clay tablet depicting some guy sitting cross-legged on the ground 😂😂😂 offended hindu

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.
@@perfectpREdAtori 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.
I need a shirt that says “Thank the indo-European sky father it’s Friday”

We dont say "hello" in the Irish language, we say "Dia dhuit" which literally means "God with you".
we say the same in Serbia "God with you" and other side responds with "with you is God" (something like that)
in italian we use "addio" to say goodbye, which is an abbreviation of "vai con dio" o "ti raccomando a dio" which roughly translate to "go with god"
Isn’t “Goodbye” a contraction of “God be with you/ye”?
@@Dover78 apperntly yes it is, I didn't know that haha. Well I guess most of western languages have the same way to say goodbye
@@francesco9281 In French people say "Adieu" ; dieu= god.
And it also means "farewell" or "farewell for ever" or literally : "to God" or "go with God".

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.

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.

@@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.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for your hard work
Amazing video thank you for this refreshing history lesson.
Damn, I knew Zeus was derived from Dyeus, but I never put together the Jupiter etymology, that’s fuckin wild.
It is even spelled Dzeus...
@@owlmaster1528 r u christan?
and Jesus and Yahweh where based off of Zeus its crazy how much one is influenced by the other
@@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.
This is an amazing video, thank you so much!
Loved seeing the bit on Mt Lykaion; I worked on the site for two seasons and now much more what was found then makes more sense when I think about the sacrificial altar and the contents of what were found there.
Yet another great video Tom!
Dyaus is my Father, my begetter: kinship is here. This great earth is my kin and Mother. Between the wide-spread world-halves is the birth-place: the Father laid the Daughter's germ within it.
Just absolutely love your content! And you present it so well time! What can I say, I'll just stay tuned in! :3
Thank you for posting!
Fascinating! Really enjoyed it! Came here from Twitter for a politics break.
In Slavic faith wolfs are connected to the sun god Dazhdbog.
My dear namesake, aren't wolves more closely connected to the god of the so-called underworld Veles?
@@Stefanthro wolfs I think are seen as ancestors, and Dajbog is seen as the forefather of the Rus and Serbs, except that Dajbog is also believed to visit the underworld during night times.
@@Stefanthro Bears and serpents are connected to Veles.
@@banijska_krajina Ahh ok, thanks for clarifying. Pozdrav
@@Stefanthro no problem.
Pozdrav
You got a subscription from me today. I have been looking for a channel like this. Thank you
At 20:21 cattle sacrifices were offered to gods in ancient India, but it became so wide spread that there was no cattle left for farming, so the society restricted cattle sacrifices and in course of time cows became holy. That is the reason cows are worshipped in the northern parts of India, and cattle slaughter is banned across many places in India.
BS. Buddhism banned it.
Great work
At 18:53 the Ashvin twins are also mentioned in Mahabharata where they reincarnate as Nakula and Sahadeva.
Aren't nakula and Sahadeva their sons?
Rather than reincarnation
@@Sandesh_Gee Sorry my bad, they are there sons.
@@GyanTvAmitthey were sons. Of second wife.
INCREDIBLE video and research, subscribed.
The production quality here is superb.
Great information, careful analysis. Thank you.
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.
Overall, killer video! Looking forward to more on the wolf-cult.
This is awesome and very well done, brings me back to my old college lectures.
This was an awesome one. The way religion evolves over distance and time is so fascinating.
Love the Sky Father Merch!! Got myself one
Tyr's rune could be seen as an arrow pointing upwards to the sky ᛏ
Or to go forward
Interesting perspective
The top of the arrow is the transcendent sky and the vertical the axis mundi. Creates an arrow pointing skyward, or to the transcendent, yes. Odal rune on the other hand more akin to gateway, from which one emerges (kin, community, heritage) or through which one enters into (initiation, shamanistic states). The etymology for Wotanaz and Tiwaz reinforce this distinction also. Wotanaz communicating rage, mania, ecstacy, divine inspiration... the shamanic. Tiwaz communicating sky father, natural law...the transcendent sovereign.
or its just the letter "T"
@@gunjfur8633 why was the letter "T" chosen to be that shape?
So much information that I’ll have to rewatch.
When I was teaching comparative religions I only scratched the surface talking about the names and global migrations and such things. 40 years ago I had no idea all of this other information existed. So thank you for backing up my intuition. QUESTION: could there be a relationship between this research and the most ancient temples such as Göbekli Tepe?
Thanks! no Göbekli Tepe was not made by Indo-Europeans
It was however made by their ancestors
@@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.
In sanskrit, we have "deus" meaning The god of the gods. And "dev" meaning normal god.
@@i_like_it.378 indeed. That is where Jupiter and Zeus Pater come from!
TH-cam is not giving me notifications of your new videos posted. I already have the bell ticked for all notifications just an FYI. Thank you for your Content. Great information.
That's sad
So BULLFIGHTIN IN SPAIN, is a tradition of 6 millenialls and simbolices sacrifices to Father God, is done in an specific hour.. from around 19 hours when the Sunset ; and is done in all the villages as the most important day of each village, is an old, old reminiscence of the sacrifices to God Father.. Interesting aspect.
So mexicans should sacrifice humans in a party too, since it's a part of an old tradition
@@CrazeeFy as long as they start with you 🤷🏻♂️
@@CrazeeFy and we sacrifice macacos too
The original word is PITAR, and it did not mean farther, it implied it, because it means the bringer of pita( bread)
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.
This is fantastic. Perfect to listen to while I'm at work.
Can't believe I put off watching your videos. I'm hooked! Buon lavoro mio fratello!
Top Quality Content and Excellent Pronunciation
Was literally thinking about this on my way to work today, when I saw the sun rising over the hills.
Your video really sparked my interest in Proto-Indo-European religion and culture. What an amazing video, man.
