Germanic Creation Myth

Germanic mythology has been one of the most prominent European religions. In the beginning there was a giant void or chasm called Ginnungagap. On one side of the void was Niflheim, the land of fog and ice, in the north, and on the other was Muspelheim, the land of fire, to the south. Part of the ice of Niflheim melted, creating the giant Ymir and the cow Audhumla, who nourished him. Audhumla fed by licking the salty ice, and her licking formed the god Buri. Ymir created the first frost giants, a male and a female, from under his left arm.Odin, the grandson of Buri and the son of Buri's son Bor, killed Ymir, and Ymir's blood drowned all the frost giants except for one, Bergelmir, who fled to continue the race. Odin created the earth from Ymir's body, and Ymir's blood was the sea; his flesh, the earth; his skull, the sky; his bones, the mountains; his hair, the trees.From Ymir's body grew an ash tree named Yggdrasil, whose branches supported the universe. Yggdrasil had three roots going to each of the three levels of the world. Three springs supplied it with water. One root went into Asgard, the home of the gods, another went to Jotunheim, the land of the giants, and a third went to Niflheim, the primeval land of ice from which Ymir and Audhumla were created. In Jotunheim's spring, Mimir, lay wisdom. Niflheim's spring nourished the adder Nidhogge who gnawed at the roots of Ygdrasil. here is link to my friends site who help me in the making of these videos. http://www.myspace.com/templewizard

[Vikingaxe1066]

all germanic peoples share the same origin and a same language that changed over time

during time differences occurred but they all got the same roots

@deathheadunitss I mean the Romans who conquered the world were displaced and pretty much wiped out by northern european tribes, the Italians of today are not related to the Romans who founded the roman empire.

@madfox95 The name came from England, but the first Thor God of Thunder and the rest of that belief originated from the North (Norway for example.)

[Luka1180]

This video sucks. Don't use text to speech, because every word and locaiton name are pronounced wrong :(

[madfox95]

For Thor is also Thunor. But in Estonia he was called Taara. In Saaremaa there were many famous vikings.

@polarisreseau Did you read what I sent you? it's a study on ht15 ht35 it was a study done in May 2010 how can you say it's outdated? you just don't like what you saw, it doesn't agree with your outlook and beliefs so you just dismiss it as outdated.

[polarisreseau]

@GundisalusMenendiz that ht15 and ht35 are out-dated designations which is why I don't use them. It's a little hard to discern if someone is specifically speaking about the mutation p49/TaqI or using the general term as a catch-all for P312 and U106 ! (being ht15) and L-21?. I have no comment on p49/TaqI and other than to say it is a useless investigation at this point.

@GundisalusMenendiz

the truths, there is in all street corners, reality there is only one and it is it which interests me.

@GundisalusMenendiz

You name your truth and me I name facts because I have no truth, I am not believer, I am darwinian.

[GundisalusMenendiz]

@polarisreseau I never made fun of you, but I should start, eupedia is a branch of wikipedia, that's the same as R1b ht15 and R1b ht35 two branches, one originated earlier than the other it's the same as R1b3 M269 and R1b3f M269, I really wouldn't take anything serious what Balaresque wrote, it's all full of shit and you people just eat it up, you people are like robots, learn how to think and learn for your selves.

and stop being so gullible.
