I do not yet know for sure how these stories trickle into the Hinduism practices today in India, but from a linguistic perspective the words Manus and Yemo bear direct derivatives from their Proto-Indo-European forms into Sanskrit as मनु / Manu and यम / Yam. Manu was an ancient sage and Yama is considered to be the cheerful king who whence dying first became the guard of hell in our stories. And not to ignore the importance of cows and their protection. We still have a saying that goes "A family doesn't starve in drought if they have a cow at home". Fascinating!

@@Crecganford Outstanding. If there is a video where you can show the similar constructs of time & Creation between both the Bible and Rig Veda, that would be truly amazing. In the Vedas, time is cyclical. Each major time period, according to the Vedas, consists of a Kalpa. A "kalpa" (or one day & night of Brahma, the first living being) is 4.32 billion years. It consists of 14 sub time periods, known as a "Manvantara," led by a "Manu." Preceding the 1st such Manvantara, there is a "Sandhya" (or "twilight" of Brahma) consisting of 1.728 Million years, and so on and so forth preceding the rest of the remaining Manvantaras. The earth ("Bhu-loka") is submerged in water in each of these "Sandhyas" or twilights of 1.728 million years. Each such "Manvantara" means a duration of time of each Manu ("Manu" = man; "Antara" = interval/term), thus indicating there are MULTIPLE "Manus" leading each cosmological subepoch (14 to be exact). That's not all. Each such "Manvantara" lasts for 306,720,000 Earth years (or, 852,000 divine years, with 1 divine year = 360 of our 4 season-completed 'solar' years) not including Brahma's twilight period of 1.728 million years preceding each such Manvantara. Each Manvantara is then further subdivided into 72 more cycles known as "Yuga Cycle". Each Yuga Cycle consists of 4 Yugas; namely a Satya Yuga (1.728 million years), Dwapara Yuga (1.296 million years), Dwapara Yuga (864,000 years), and Kali Yuga (432,000 years), with each such Yuga Cycle consisting of 4,320,000 years. Completion of 4 such Yugas is a "Maha" (great) Yuga (or Yuga Cycle). It takes 72 such Maha Yugas (cycles), to complete one Manvantara. There are 14 Manvantaras, as mentioned, The current universe, per Wikipedia, is currently being ruled by the 7th such Manu, meaning we are in the 7th Manvantara, 28th Yuga Cycle, in the 4th Yuga (Kali), of which we have only gone through about 5000 of the total 432,000 years of this Kali Yuga. After all the Manvantara's are completed, Creation will be destroyed ("Pralay'), with such destruction equaling 1,728,000 years. And that completes ONE day (and one night) of Brahma (the "kalpa"). One "Month" in Brahmic time (i.e, Brahma's time) means 30 such "days & nights," ie, 30 such Kalpas., or 259.2 billion years 30 x [2 x (306.72 M x 14 + 1.728 x 15) ]. Twelve "months" of Brhama is one "year" in HIS life, and he lives only 100 such cosmic years, constituting a "maha-kalpa" (311.04 trillion of our years). Fifty of Brahma's cosmic "years" have elapsed, and we are now in the "Shveta-Varaha Kalpa" or the 1st cosmic "day" of his 51st cosmic "year." Each Kalpa (cosmic day of Brahma) has a name, according to the Matsya Purana. Each Manu of each Manvantara has a different name. This Manu's name of our time, in Sanskrit, is known as "Vaivasvata," who was the king of ancient Tamil Nadu (southern kingdom of India), before a great flood. This same Manu, was warned of such a great flood, by a fish incarnation of God ("Vishnu"), and thus built a big BOAT which carried the Vedas, his family, and the seven sages "Sapta Rishis" to safety. Sound familiar? Thus we have the concept of CONSTANT dissolutin/destruction followed by creation. All matter is subject to CONSTANT decay and destruction, a similar theme throughout ancient Hindu metaphysics. The Genesis also says God created the Universe (or this Universe anyways), in 6 such "days." It is not clear on what such "day" references, a cosmic day or a human day. The first man, or Manu, is "Adam" and the first woman is "Eve." Beyond that I do not know much of the concepts of time, creation, destruction. Would love to see you publish something which speaks to the Vedas but in line with Christian and Hebrew metaphysics.

Hi, great video. I'm curiuous what some of the main primary sources are for this myth. It seems you have agregated several versions that appear over time - but what are some of the oldest versions (in terms of extant original texts we can read) that form the core of your version? Also, are you sort of translating certain ideas culturally, I'm wondering? I ask mainly because of you saying "nothing" existed. My understanding of at least the ANE is there was not a concept of "nothing" like we have today (and idea of no matter/material existing at all) but it was more functional or related to order and chaos. ANE creation myths often start with the ocean/abyss or dark chaotic waters. Like their version of nonecistent is just chaos with no order. Would you say its the same for these Indo-Eurpopean myths or do they have more like a modern understanding of "nothing". Thanks.

Is the Mahabharata a work that exhibits somr influence of Hellenistic Greek culture? I was thinking that because it says online it was compiled between the 3rd centuries BCE and CE, which is the same time as there was this cultural cross-polinization in Gandhara and with the Kushans and so forth, from whom we see this golden age of Greco-Buddhist artwork, as well as perhaps the first manuscripts of the Buddha’s teachings. I’m starting to view that period, along with the reign of Shah Jahan as artistic Golden Ages in India’s history. I’ve seen discussions online that the Mahabharata could’ve been influenced by the Illiad. If this Hellenistic influence extends to Hindu epics is India as a much an heir to the Ancient Greeks as is Europe?

@@Crecganford Fair enough. Good job on summing up almost countless human histories into 7 minutes

So ... Aboot Middle Earth... Aint on me map..

I have never been this early, so Raise your Swords in honor of the Sky Father today and take all the cows you see, clearly those other people stole them from you and your kinsmen

I wonder what the source is for the milk from the cow. You specifically said "they could even use its milk to feed themselves and their children". That's what I'm having problem believing it's actually part of the original myth. Lactose tolerance most likely began about 10.000 years ago, according to genetic studies. At the most densest tolerance population today, it's only roughly 75%, while in other parts of the world, only 25%, and that's after 10.000 years. This myth would've been started only about 2.000 years after lactose tolerance started to become a thing, and it would be rare at this stage. I'm not saying that it is false, or incorrect that it's part of the myth, but I'm saying I would love to see some more in-depth about this, as it ties into what we know about the pre-historic eras.

This is a very interesting part of the myth, and one I will expand upon either later this year or next once my research on it has been completed. We must understand that the nurturing nature of cattle is of a Neolithic Farming influence, and so the earliest myth had this within it, before the cattle became more sacred.

There are lactose-intolerant cultures that still used milk via fermenting processes that convert the lactose to digestible sugars. Fermented milk, yogurts and certain hard cheeses can be eaten by those with intolerance. Cultures in Sudan and Tibet used fermented milk products. And don't forget, children up to age 5 everywhere can drink straight milk and even in majority lactose intolerant societies, there are still thousands that are tolerant of lactose into adulthood. Also, lactose intolerance is usually not 100%, that is intolerant people still produce the lactase enzyme, just a very tiny amount, so they can still sample dairy foods within small limits.
