My response,So are you saying that was always that way, such as would you say Native Americans cultures are separate from their religions? A town in theprovincesmight adopt a deity from within the Roman religious sphere to serve as its guardian, orsyncretizeits own tutelary with such; for instance, a community within thecivitasof theRemiinGauladopted Apollo as its tutelary, and at the capital of the Remi (present-dayRheims), the tutelary wasMarsCamulus.ref, Household deity (a kind of or related to a Tutelary deity), Ahousehold deityis adeityor spirit that protects thehome, looking after the entirehouseholdor certain key members. European early modern humans(EEMH) lineages between 40,000-26,000 years ago (Aurignacian) were still part of a large Western Eurasian meta-population, related to Central and Western Asian populations. Cereal remains, cutting tools and a plowshare alleged to be found in Yamnaya contexts. In contrast, East Asia has so far received little attention, despite representing a core region at which the Neolithic transition took place independently ~3 millennia after its onset in the Near East. It is represented by two individuals fromKarelia, one of Y-haplogroup R1a-M417, dated c. 8.4kya, the other of Y-haplogroup J, dated c. 7.2 kya; and one individual fromSamara, of Y-haplogroup R1b-P297, dated c. 7.6 kya. According to the Kurgan hypothesis, the Yamnaya and related cultures are the likely candidates for being the mythical Proto-Indo-Europeans. Owing to the historical distance of Yamnaya culture, and reliance on archaeological findings, debate continues as to its origin. Inanna in Mesopotamian Religion and Culture: Reinforcer of Heteronormativity, or Legitimizer of non-Heteronormativity: . This sign I have had ever since I was a child. Tibetan BuddhismhasYidamas a tutelary deity. Yamanaya people were pastoralists who relied on herding sheep, goats, and cattle. Who were the Groups migrating and merging with the previous Groups of Europe 9,000 to 7,000 years ago? The Yamnaya culture was a late Copper Age to early Bronze Age archaeological culture of the region between the Southern Bug, Dniester, and Ural rivers (the Pontic steppe), dating to 3300-2600 BC. The Samara culture was an Eneolithic culture of the early 5th millennium BCE[note 1] at the Samara bend region of the middle Volga, at the northern edge of the steppe zone. We still have a great many questions about the Yamnaya migration, but its one of the most intensively studied and clearest examples of long-distance population movement from any period of the human past. , who defended theories of animistic origins of ancestor worship, . Strikingly, not a single word for millet can be reconstructed for Proto-Indo-European. Bronze Age "Ritual" connections of the Bell Beaker culture with the WSGs were found to be of about 30% EHG ancestry, 50% ANE ancestry, and 20% to 38% East Asian ancestry.ref, Western Steppe Herders(WSH) is the name given to a distinct ancestral component that represents descent closely related to theYamnaya cultureof thePonticCaspian steppe. On this basis,David W. Anthonyargues that theIndo-European languageswere originally spoken by EHGs. ref, ref, In the earlier horizon of Mikhailovka site, impressions of emmer wheat, hulled barley, and millet have been identified in nine potsherds out of 2491, suggesting that agriculture might have been part of the subsistence economic activities. No.Still nothing but lofty speculation riddled with assumptions. Discussion: Are the Origins of Indo-European Languages Explained by the As a consequence, we may conclude that it is not possible to on the one hand support the Steppe Hypothesis (or the revised Anatolia Hypothesis for that matter) while at the same time assuming that steppe migrants had an exclusively pastoralist way of life, as has been proposed for the early Yamnaya culture. ref, Cereal remains, cutting tools and a plowshare alleged to be found in Yamnaya contexts. Did Neanderthals Help Inspire Totemism? The beginnings of the steppe belt cultures coincide with the Copper Age (5th millennium BCE) and the activation of the Carpatho-Balkan Metallurgical Province. Totemism is needed for supernatural thinking connecting human actions & related to clan/tribe. To me, themale godseems to have either emerged or become prominent around 7,000 years ago, whereas the now favored monotheismmale godis more like 4,000 years ago or so. A neighbor-joining dendrogram based on TD grouped the foxtail millet accessions into eight major clusters, each of which consisted of accessions collected from adjacent geographical areas. Yamnaya people moved from place to place in search of pasture for their herds. He brings back knowledge from the shadow realm, thus linking his people to the spirits and places which were once mythically accessible to all.anthropologist Barbara Meyerhoff ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, Sino-Tibetan, also cited asTrans-Himalayanin a few sources,is afamilyof more than 400 languages, second only toIndo-Europeanin number of native speakers. (2019) found that theYana RHSsample (31,600 BP) inNorthern Siberiacan be modeled as early West Eurasian with an approximately 22% contribution from early East Asians.ref, Populations genetically similar to MA-1 were an important genetic contributor toNative Americans,Europeans,Central Asians,South Asians, and some East Asian groups, in order of significance. They came from 13 Neolithic and Early Bronze Age sites in Switzerland, southern Germany and the Alsace region of France, reports the Max Planck Institute . ref, Astrologyis a range ofdivinatorypractices, recognized aspseudoscientificsince the 18th century,that claim to discern information about human affairs and terrestrial events by studying the apparent positions ofcelestial objects. Far more work has gone into reconstructing PIE than any other proto-language, and it is the best understood of all proto-languages of its age. Based on their analysis of changes in the genome, they were able to identify when the new Yamnaya Culture immigrants from the Pontic-Caspian Steppe changed the profile of the European population. The poetic and proposed Wisdom books dealing, in various forms, with questions of good and evil in the world. Its not exactly counterintuitive to guess that people from the steppe, whom we identify with the Yamnaya Culture, moved from one place to the other. I am ananarchist socialistpolitically. The direct descendants are archaeological cultures such as the Afasanievo, Corded Ware, Bell Beakers and the Catacomb culture. Such as that they are one continuous population of indigenous people who have simply adopted the practice of pottery making. The Samara culture is regarded as related to contemporaneous or subsequent prehistoric cultures of the Pontic-Caspian steppe, such as the Khvalynsk, Repin and Yamna (or Yamnaya) cultures. And of course as pointed out, -proto-indo-european is a hypothetical reconstructed language. Other languages of the family are spoken in theHimalayas, theSoutheast Asian Massif, and the eastern edge of theTibetan Plateau. Seonangshinis the patron deity of the village in Korean tradition and was believed to embody theSeonangdang. They also grew peas and beans,apricot,cherry plum,andwine grapes though there is no solid evidence that they actually madewine. Because of their immediacy they had arguably more influence on the day-to-day affairs of men than the remote gods did. How A Handful of Yamnaya Culture Nomads Became the Fathers of Europe They provide the basis of a worldview that reaffirms and guides how people relate tothe natural world, to any assumedspiritual world, and toeach other. 43,000-33,000 years old Aurignacian Figurine Marks, like at the Swabian Jura caves in Germany, 41,000-20,000-year-old Upper Paleolithic Tally sticks. I do not hate simply because I challenge and expose myths or lies any more than others being thought of as loving simply because of the protection and hiding from challenge their favored myths or lies. The Yamnaya culture was a nomadic culture. These population dynamics and constant northwards geneflow of East Asian-related ancestry would later gave rise to the Ancestral Native Americans andPaleosiberians, which replaced the ANE as dominant population ofSiberia.ref, Eastern Hunter-Gatherer(EHG) is a lineage derived predominantly (75%) from ANE. They could also be found on domestic objects, such as cosmetic articles in the case ofTawaret. The graves yield well-made daggers of flint and bone, placed at the arm or head of the deceased, one in the grave of a small boy. Both of these individuals are genetically most similar to geographically close modern populations from the Amur Basin, all speaking Tungusic languages, and, in particular, to the Ulchi. Sanskrit is not even native for Indians and used for centuries only for religious purposes . To read about a revolutionary technique for radiocarbon dating ceramic artifacts fromatalhyk, go to Carbon Dating Pottery, one of ARCHAEOLOGYs Top 10 Discoveries of 2020. Creation by the splitting or ordering of a primordial unity such as the cracking of a. Originator deity which is awakened or an eternal entity within the abyss. A new study says Proto-Indo-European spread from the steppes of what are now the Ukraine, southern Russia and western Asia into Europe. They were related to the Yamnaya culture and the dispersal of Proto-Indo-European languages." ref "The Corded Ware culture (outdated called Battle Axe culture) comprises a broad archaeological horizon of Europe between c. 3100 - 2350 BCE or 5,120 to 4,370 years ago. The use ofochrein the burial was practiced, as with thekurgan cultures. A main sky goddess is often the queen of the gods and may be an air/sky goddess in her own right, though she usually has other functions as well with sky not being her main. The myths should not be understood as attempts to work out a rational explanation of deity.ref, While creation myths are not literalexplications, they do serve to define an orientation of humanity in the world in terms of a birth story. Most linguists argue that the PIEs (Proto-Indo-Europeans) did have words for wheel. Which seems to be a simple point some are just not grasping how devastating to any claims of truth when we can see the lie clearly in the archeological sites. , the migration becomes even clearer: People buried in kurgans on the Hungarian Plain derived most or all of their ancestry from people who had lived on the steppe a few centuries (at most) before. The term paganism, used by me and some others who are academics, roughly refers to pre-Christian, socioreligious-cultural-based traditions which were polytheistic (worshiped multiple entities), and to me, I speculate also involve elements of Animism, Totemism, and shamanism; which together with polytheism are what I call paganism. Other theories include the Anatolian hypothesis, which posits that PIE spread out from Anatolia with agriculture around 9000 BCE or 11,021 years ago, the Armenian hypothesis, the Paleolithic continuity paradigm, and the indigenous Aryans theory. Despite its relatively late attestation, Norse mythology is still considered one of the three most important of the Indo-European mythologies for comparative research, due to the vast bulk of surviving Icelandic material. ref, Baltic mythology has also received a great deal of scholarly attention, as it is linguistically the most conservative and archaic of all surviving branches, but has so far remained frustrating to researchers because the sources are so comparatively late. Yamnaya people hunted deer and other wild game, as well as raising sheep, goats, and cattle. Women were the focus of religion, from at least around 35,000 years ago, until 2,000 years ago? A creation myth acts as a cornerstone for distinguishing primary reality fromrelativereality, the origin and nature ofbeingfrom non-being. Atheists talk about gods and religions for the same reason doctors talk about cancer, they are looking for a cure, or a firefighter talks about fires because they burn people and they care to stop them. Specific deities known asElorIlinclude the supreme god of theancient Canaanite religionand the supreme god ofEast Semitic speakersinMesopotamias Early Dynastic Period. And in this sense, they go beyondetiological myths(which explain specific features in religious rites, natural phenomena, or cultural life). In the Hebrew texts this word is interpreted as being semantically singular for god by biblical commentators. Yamnaya ancestry: mapping the Proto-Indo-European expansions This message of how religion and gods among them are clearly a man-made thing that was developed slowly as it was invented and then implemented peace by peace discrediting them all. Led by scouts on horseback and accompanied by herds of sheep and cattle, they went west through whats now Moldova, Romania, and Bulgaria. This emphasis underscores, rather than weakens, the ancestral component.ref. Brothers follow brothers, nieces follow aunts, and cousins follow cousins. A successive potential proxy is the Babyno culture (22001700 BCE), whose similarities to the Epi-Corded Ware of the Carpathian region suggest an East-Central European origin. ref, ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref, ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref, ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref,ref. For example, the Upper Paleolithic genomes from the Malta and Afontova Gora sites in southern Siberia revealed a genetic profile, often called Ancient North Eurasians (ANE), which is deeply related to Paleolithic/Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in Europe and also substantially contributed to the gene pools of present-day Native Americans, Siberians, Europeans and South Asians. "Veda" - means knowledge even in modern Russian. I know I see the deep ethical responsibility that if there is power their must be a humanistic responsibility of ethical and empathic stewardship of that power. Groups with Pontic-Steppe ancestry probably lived in the low-lands along lakes and rivers, while the older population lived in the mountains. The truth is best championed in the sunlight of challenge. Related sites are Varfolomeyevka on the Russian-Kazakh border[3] (5500 BCE), which has parallels in Dzhangar (Kalmykia),[4] and Mykol'ske, on the Dnieper. Other carved bone figurines and pendants were found in the graves. Some of it was already present in Russia during the Mesolithic period, but the largest East Asian migration to Europe took place with the arrival of Proto-Uralic people during the Neolithic. Goddesses/Demigoddesses/Grandmother-Mother Ancestor Spirits from Catal Huyuk? These results were then cross-referenced with 399 published ancient genomes from the same period from Central and Western Europe as well as Neolithic individuals from Anatolia and the Pontic steppe, the researchers wrote in Nature Communications . The Yamnaya are most significant because of their dramatic expansion across Eurasia in only a few generations moving westward to Hungary and eastward to Mongolia, said University of Helsinki archaeologist and co-author Volker Heyd.

The other two lower clines are occupied by individuals from the Eurasian steppe, mostly speaking Turkic and Mongolic languages. An Upper Paleolithic genome shows a direct link with the First Americans by sharing the admixed ancestry that gave rise to all non-Arctic Native Americans. The star also seems to be a possible proto-star for Star of Ishtar, Star of Inanna, or Star of Venus. Yamnaya diets relied less on dairy than their later Indo-European descendants, though they still consumed milk products. Paganism: spread of Haplogroup J and its Seeming connection of Bull Worship, Pre-Pottery Neolithic (10000 6500 BCE) and Pottery Neolithic (70005000 BCE), 12,000-year-old Gobekli Tepe: first human-made pagan temple. In that regard it was the opposite development from the Near East, which first developed agriculture then only pottery from circa 5500 BCE, perhaps through contact with East Asians via Siberia or Central Asia. ref. Instead of meeting a single starting point, we encounter an infinity of them, each of which poses the same problem. Atutelary(alsotutelar) The Greeks also thought deities guarded specific places: for instance,Athenawas the patron goddess of the city ofAthens. Juno often had this function, as at theLatintown ofLanuviumand theEtruscancity ofVeii,and was often housed in an especially grand temple on thearx(citadel)or other prominent or central location.
