    There is a very interesting observation here: The Iranian term for god is "Ahura/Asura" while their term for demon/evil god is "daeva" The Indian term for god is "deva" while their term for a demon-like being is "asura" Bronze age Indo-Iranian rivalry ?

    Yeah, funny, exactly.. that was the time period when prophet Zoroaster came over as a reformer against the Vedic religion and tradition in that region. Then they made new terminology, changed some meanings to their opposite. A bit later it was a much more neccesary tool as a sovereign general religion to strenghten the power of the Achaemid empire. Just a good example of how the propaganda communication works. That was the same trick as nowadays. People are people, with quite similar intentions trough many millenia.:) Religions always have two aspects: one for the strategic and tactic use for the rulers, and one for a personal and intimate faith for the individual humans. In the second case, no matter how we call the big One. :)

    Indeed the Indo-Aryan family, e.g. in Iran : A daeva (Avestan: 𐬛𐬀𐬉𐬎𐬎𐬀 daēuua, Sanskrit: देव deva) is a Zoroastrian supernatural entity with disagreeable characteristics. In the Gathas, the oldest texts of the Zoroastrian canon, the daevas are "gods that are (to be) rejected". This meaning is - subject to interpretation - perhaps also evident in the Old Persian "daiva inscription" of the 5th century BCE. In the Younger Avesta, the daevas are divinities that promote chaos and disorder. In later tradition and folklore, the dēws (Zoroastrian Middle Persian; New Persian divs) are personifications of every imaginable evil. Daeva, the Iranian language term, shares the same origin of "Deva" of Indian mythology, later incorporated into Indian religions.

    @@srikrishnak196 The word "asura" is actually derived as "asu-ra" In the Vedic language, "ra" is the personification or specialising element from PIE ros, and occurs as suffix in names, which endorse a particular quality, like Indra, Rudra, Mitra, Vrtra, and much more. For example, take Indra. The first part contains the root which means "to grow", "life" etc; perhaps similar to the reconstructed Proto Indo European *(h)eid - to swell. The same root is responsible for indu, (Vedic soma elixir), which is said in Vedas to create life and immortality and waxen its consumers in strength and might. Also Rudra derives from "rud" meaning to cry or roar. (think of rodana, "cry") Thus, asura derives from "asu". "asu" means life breath, life or the spirit. Thus, no wonder it comes as an ancient word for the sustainer God in Vedas. Rig Veda uses the original word for God, especially for its dearest Indra, Agni, and Varuna. Also, it takes the spiritual quality and life providing quality of all the Gods as "asuratva" (quality of asura). A famous refrain from a Rig Vedic sukta for end of each stanza, states : "mahat devAnAm asuratvam ekam" "Great is the one nature of spirit of the devas" It should be noted that "asuras" applied to the highest Gods suggests that there was no duality between deva or asura. Of course, asura also had a wider applicability for all mighty spirits, including the undesirable Vrtra. Still, the word was not limited to "demons". It is interesting that Rig Veda has no words specifically for demons.

    A couple of interesting facts: in (middle) persian dey means also god, which is also the name of one of the months in persian calender. Also the most common word for god is khoda, which I think is obviously from the same root as god. Also in some iranian dialects like Bakhtiari dialect, gothan means to say, which I found interestingly similar to what was in the video for godan (sorry I don't have the alphabet that you used in my keyboard). This is Goftan as infinitive and gou as imperative in modern persian which is still similar enough to be from the same root.

    Cool channel. I'm from North Africa and have always been interested in our connection to the Celtic traditions of Europe? There are many similarities in culture that I have never heard an explanation for. I assume because we allied with Northern and Central Europeans against Rome in Punic wars, and there were Libyan shields found in Switzerland from that time. Also the Vandals inhabited Tunisia... But thats all I can think of and I believe the connection is probably more ancient than either of the two events.

In the book he gives very detailed overview of the Punic wars and the time surrounding them. There were Cartheginian (Tunis today) and Libyan designs on shields found in some villages between the Rhone and the Alps. The local people had preserved them so it indicated that they were held in importance, as a symbol of their friendship with the North Africans that came with Hannibal.. The arrival of Hannibal was the reason for a lot of their victories against Rome and Hannibal was the reason for one of the Germanic lineages continuing because he mended discord between two brothers from this nobility of the Germanic tribes..

In general in Norse mythology, like in other pantheons, the hierarchy of the gods changed with time and between people, as most of these pantheons consisted of multiple gods who were first local before intermingled in bigger lore. Tyr might have been THE god and more of a wodan/odin-like figure at a certain point and place in history, explaining the name.

They migrated to Thrace and Troy and spread out through Europe, also some migrated as far as India. They were the grey eyes peoples. ? ?

    Great Presentation! I remember reading that "Gada" refered to the club and thunder. Not unusual to assume that ancient peoples or uneducated people would associate certain wonders of nature with gods or at least superior beings. For more than 50 years there has been an ongoing effort to present ancient Vaisnava beliefs in a way that catches up with more modern and common beliefs regarding God. The Vaisnava beliefs are usually very popular with the Hindu following. For instance, the "summum bonum" was Latin for the superior human being. This may relate to how upper class Romans started comparing themselves to the gods. The Vaisnava following has sometimes borrowed "summum bonum" to compare with their various incarnations or manifestations of God.

    I found the Gaelic word for underworld deities being "Ande" or un-God very interesting. It occurs to me that in Welsh mythology, the main otheroworld/underworld is called "Annwfn" which seems to translate to Un-Deep. Does this confirm (unsurpringingly) that the Welsh and Irish had similar conceptions of their underworld Gods? Can we discern anything about the nature of Annwfn from this?

    As a Greek I always thought the word “God” (Theos) derived from the Olympian god Zeus who was also called Dias. I mean Deus, Dios, Dia are all used by countries that were formerly influenced by the Romans. Since Hellenic culture was widespread throughout Europe and the Middle East the influence of the polytheistic faith might have remained in the form of words with similar etymology.

My mother was a native Iar Connaught Irish speaker. She pronounced the Irish ‘hello’ or “Dia Duit” (God to you) as GeeAh GahWitch. I think she once pronounced Dagda as Jag(a)Jah or similar enough that YVWH of Jehovah popped into me mind, what’s left of it. She pronounced the name Gerard, one of the Duffy boys around the corner as ‘Garage’ , pardon my French, despite many attempts at correcting her; & the seaweed snack, Dulse, as Gillis.

Watt about Chooseday?” and after the laughter died down I was told I talk funny.” On Rig & Reg & Ard Ri & Art & King & Conn & Khan agus I could go on & on, but Aye won’t. So ‘guard’, ‘ward’ & guardian? The ‘g’ in gall and gaul & the ‘w’ in wall and Wallis for foreigner por ejample, are interchangeable So the Loaf Ward guarded the Baker’s dozen & was or got the 13th loaf, I guess being a god ward was lazy work, lol.

When we arrived at the race site, everyone went to their posts and hours later we went to lunch and met again. The cameraman had somehow managed to communicate with someone and the subject had been religion, he was horrified by something he had learned ...

There's a theory that there was theological split between the groups of Aryans and reversal of roles between Ahura/Asura and Daeva/Deva characters, while they were still in Central Asia, before migrating to the Iranian Plateau and Indian Subcontinent. So in modern Iranian languages, Deev means demon or devil, whereas Deva in Indic languages signifies God. And the opposite is true for Ahura/Asura.

As provided by author and attested in old persian inscriptions, "baga" is the generic name for god in old iranic languages. That word is derived from a verb whose offsprings in modern persian are as follows: baxt (fortune, share), baxshudan (to forgive), baaxtan (to loose), baaj (tax). Also check (modern persian): daadan (to give), daade (given). Old persian does NOT come from vedic language. Vedic language is from a time when it had separated from iranian (or iranic) for several centuries. The first known iranic language is known as Gathic Avestan (as opposed to Younger Avestan which is a much younger language) and it is contemporary to Vedic language.
