- Aborigine European-identity insight : Proto-Indo-European (3500 B.C.E.), originally, at the beginning, had the same chief god.
All of these 8 branches of Indo-European languages, etymologically, reference the same oldest supreme chief, "heaven/sky-father", god/deva/dewos/theos—the same proto-IE root stem word meaning "to shine" (day/deity, wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyeus) :
Dag-da "day/shining-divinity" (Celtic) | Týr father ᛏ (Teutonic) | Ju-piter (Latin) | Zeû[s] Pater (Hellenic) | Deivos, later called Rod (Slavic) | Dievas (Baltic) | Tiwaz (Anatolian) | "Dyeus Pita" (Vedic Sanskrit).
...All these names are dialectical variants of the same word.
Or, as the later, Iron Age, Julian the Apostate, the last non-Christian emperor of the Roman Empire (Constantinople), writing on Jupiter allegorically wrote, "...the Sun is the parent of us all... ...[like] 'The One,'... ...the light of the Sun bears the same relation to things visible as Truth does to things intelligible. ...this Whole... ... ...One indeed is the Creator of all things... ... ...the source... ... ...soul... ... ...the 'Invincible Sun,'..."

- "True" etymology is "tree" (Celtic, Teutonic, Baltic). In the native religion of Baltic Latvia, the word "faith" means tree (as does the same root, "druid"); their ancient symbol is Austras Koks "sun-tree" (Baltic) (and their other symbol swastika 卍 ). Akin to the Irminsul (Teutonic) meaning large-column (akin to Yggdrasil) columns devoted to the supreme sky god, ref. Widikund 970; "Jupiter Columns" (Latin); and Kalpavriksha (Sanskrit) tree-of-life / "world tree"; and axis mundi (Latin) meaning pillar of world; Maypole (Teutonic, Baltic).
“To the Ancient Egyptians, the Tree of Life represented the hierarchical chain of events that brought everything into existence.” - Heilbringer / Hælend—savior / son of god : Krishna (Sanskrit), Mitra (Parsi), Odin/Wōdan ᚨ root word meaning "raging" [in Goth language, wot (god), word, whisper, water, wet, wise, and wit are all related to the same root word] (Teutonic), related to vātēs (Latin) and fáith (Celtic) both meaning "seer, prophet", Dionysus (Hellenic) etymology "impeller of the (world-)tree" the axis mundi.
- Calvert Watkins, "Hero slays [gwhen] dragon [snake]." (—The dragon/snake, spouting fire, is the world tree / axis mundi / the One / Apeiron (Hellenic) / ground of being / undifferentiated / "the allfather" / Pan / Zhuangzi's "obliterating [of pairs of opposites] unity with the Dao"). (Sigurd understood birds’ speech after eating Fafnir’s heart, and Odin transformed himself into a serpent in order to obtain the mead of poetry, etc..)
- ...Ecstasy/fury—"...menos came from the heavens, heroes owe their great deeds to it" : menos (Hellenic) | manas (Sanskrit) | mania (Latin), wut (Teutonic). Virtus, Audacia, Wut, Woths, Ódhr, Furor, Dásacht, Thyás, and Ferg : the Indo-European sacred fury. The substantial original equivalence of the concept of the Latin Virtus and the Germanic Wut, remarked by the Roman authors themselves (who deified Virtus as the opener of the gates of divine glory to their military commanders) to describe the magical and sacred charisma venerated in the field of martial arts among the Celtic and Germanic tribesmen. Among other things, we also analyze, by comparing Latin, Hellenic, Germanic, Celtic, and Sanskrit terms, the various Indo-European expression of the sacred fury as a driving, transfiguring and mystical force in which the warrior took over human and extra-human traits, etymologically closely related to the invocation of divine light and the "storm" in the warrior sacrifice.
- "All Indric religious systems have as their ultimate purpose life-transcendence (moksha) because all assume that sentient existence is a false perception of reality (maya), the facade behind which lies The One (tat ekam), brahman, who, formless, and because formless eternal, is the sole reality."

Along with this Thoth concept, most of the Torah's stories were "appropriated" from Egypt, Hellenes, Sumer, Parsi, and Canaan by the Judean elites while writing the Torah in Babylon (then, as it is written in the Torah, when they returned from Babylon, they mysteriously found it, the scroll, hidden in the wall of the ruins of the old temple). Even Moses name and his law was copied from an Egyptian story. And, Samson, ark/flood, garden/Eden, etc. were copied from other host races.

- "Indo-Aryans [the earliest Hindus], like the Greeks and Romans, maintained a sacred fire in the household that represented the family and was never supposed to be extinguished unless the family [male] line itself was extinguished. In all of these cultures, the fire was worshiped as a deity that represented the health and well-being of the family—not just the living family, but also the family's dead ancestors stretching back over many generations. Religion and kinship are closely connected in tribal societies. Ancestor worship is particularistic... You have duties only to your ancestors... 'The funeral obsequies could be religiously performed only by the nearest relative... They believed that the dead ancestor accepted no offerings save from his own family; he desired no worship save from his own descendants.' Moreover, each individual has a strong interest in having male descendants, since it is only they who will be able to look after one's soul after one's death. As a result, there is a strong imperative to marry and have male children; celibacy in early Greece and Rome was in most circumstances illegal. The result of these beliefs is that an individual is tied both to dead ancestors and to unborn descendants, in addition to his or her living children. As Hugh Baker puts it with regard to Chinese kinship, there is a rope representing the continuum of descent that 'stretches from Infinity to Infinity passing over a razor which is the Present. If the rope is cut, both ends fall away from the middle and the rope is no more. If the man alive now dies without heir, the whole continuum of ancestors and unborn descendants dies with him... His existence as an individual is necessary but insignificant beside his existence as the representative of the whole.' ...Belief in the reality of dead ancestors binds individuals together on a far larger scale than is possible in a family... The 'community' is not only the present members of the lineage, clan, or tribe; it is the whole rope of descent from one's ancestors to one's unborn descendants." (Fukuyama) ᛟ
