Mysterien der Steinzeit: Die Urreligion der Megalithiker Teil I: Der Gehörnte Gott

Hello, dear friends, it's the Silbenfee again with a new video. Today we're going to talk about the original religion of the megalithic. So we're still in the megalithic series. And the original religion is made up of the Lord God and the sun spiral. But today we're only doing the Lord God, because that's too extensive. So I have to go a little further at the beginning. Otherwise you won't understand the connection between the Lord God and the megaliths. So hang in there, it's going to get a little more exciting later. First I'm going to go into why the megaliths became cattle shepherds. Because the cult of the Lord God develops from the bull cult. And you have to know about that. As I said in the last part, the megaliths originally come from the settlement area of the Western Baltic Sea. This tongue-breaker. So west of the Baltic Sea. Western Baltic Sea, yes. About 4,000 BC they start building these dolmens. And that was a settlement area in the far north of Europe. On the same latitude, on the 56th latitude. Like Kamchatka in Siberia. Yes, but the northern location is affected by the Gulf Stream. Which is located on the Western Baltic Sea. The area is limited by seacoast. And after at most 40 kilometers, the inhabitants always reach the sea. No matter in which direction they go. The description of this area is only available much later. Among other things by Tacitus, a historian of the Romans. A little earlier by Homer, 800 BC. He speaks of a country called Phaeacon. With PH, Phaeacon. And it is assumed that he probably meant this area. And the megalithics meant that they were isolated for thousands of years. Because the area was limited by sea. As I said, no matter in which direction they wandered. After 40 kilometers, it was basically over. And there are no population groups that immigrated there. Not for thousands of years. And a natural religion or a culture does not develop by chance. It is always shaped by the possible use of the soil. Along this 56th latitude, we only have a mixed-leaf forest in this area. In Siberia, in Kamchatka, of course not. There is no gold stream there either. So if you planted a beech tree there, it would rot. That's way too cold. But here we have this gold stream. Through the west wind, this area warms up. As a result, it becomes a mixed-leaf forest with oak, hazel, linden, ulm. Later also beech. As the only area of the earth along the 56th latitude. Only there. Yes. South Sweden and South Scotland, the western Baltic Sea. On the same latitude in the neighboring Baltic Sea, a mixed-leaf forest grows. Fenced with birches. We don't have the gold stream there. This is a pasture area where only the moose can grow as a pasture animal. But in the climatically favorable extreme northern dolmen area, the mixed-leaf forest could grow well. Then you have to ask yourself, was this mixed-leaf forest a life-threatening jungle? Or an open forest with free pastures? And then you know from later times, cattle not only eat grass, but also leaves. So the leaves of the beech trees in the area of ​​the northern dolmen were the ideal food for pasture animals, for cattle. Yes. Now I'll show you, however, you may not imagine it like today's cow or dairy cow. The cattle that used the area as a pasture land, that was the wild boar Ur. Ur. So Ur. At this time, he could reach a calf height of two meters. So here's a male and a female animal. Here you can see it a little better. Above a cover painting of a bull from southern France. And in northern Spain you also have them. The Ur with the female animal next to it. So that was a respect-influencing wild animal. And through these wild cattle that eat the trees, there was no life-threatening jungle, but a free pasture area. This can still be traced today, when tree replantations are made in areas where there are deer, deer, wild boar, then they are still protected today by fences against wild bite. Otherwise they can't develop, they can't grow. So this forest is constantly thinned out by the leaf-eating wild cattle in this case. Yes. And one assumption can be proven. At this time, there were very few archaeological finds except for the megalithic buildings, the dolmen, on the western Baltic Sea. Otherwise, it is seen as a very empty find archaeologically. But you can prove that Denmark is a country with optimal conditions for cattle farming. Well, Denmark is also the western Baltic Sea. It borders directly. It has good soil, large areas and this mild west wind climate. But all this has remained unchanged for 5,000 years. It was the same back then. Only the climate is 2 to 3 degrees colder today. Colder, not warmer. Well, but that doesn't matter to cattle that much now. The living conditions for cattle were the same as I said 5,000 years ago. That is why the megaliths developed in the area of the western Baltic Sea and Denmark to cattle herds. The survival of cattle herds largely depends on the milk yield of the cows. If the cow is doing well, no one is starving. That is why for the cattle herds the cattle horn has a positive symbolic meaning. Yes. They combine something absolutely positive with it. It is clear. Without the cattle, they wouldn't have been able to survive. Farming was not the focus. The area was not suitable for that. But later the domesticated cattle were covered by the milk supply and the energy demand. Especially because of the milk. Yes. So. Then we found something. Around 2300 to 1800 B.C. there was no real change in the composition of the Eichen-Mischwald in the pollen content of the moors. But a strong expansion of such herbs that belong to an open grassland such as large Wegerich and Weißklee. This indicates the existence of far-stretched pastures with freely moving cattle. The archaeologist Brøndstedt found this out in 1960. Yes. And the assumption of a predominantly cattle-oriented society in the north matches the description given by Tacitus, the Roman historian, 1500 years later in his Germania about the cattle farming of the Germanic people. They lived in the same area. Tacitus writes The Germanic people are happy when they have a lot of cattle. And that is their only and welcome wealth. Because they do not work hard for the fertility and the scope of their herds. They only ask for the grain seed to grow. Yes. The Germanic people are now later than the megalithic people with the dolmens. But it is the same area and from 4000 BC there are no written testimonies. They exist only later. And a rejection of the Germanic people against laborious field work is also described by Caesar in his De Bello Gallico, the Gallic War. He says that the Germanic people do not care about the farming. It was not necessary. From the point of view of the Romans they saw it that way. This underestimation of the farming and the lack of labor on the fields of the north have a good reason. The farming was not worth it in the north. Even in the Bronze Age the cattle farming in Denmark can feed more people per hectare than the farming. Yes. Well. Accordingly, these cattle herds in the north also did not need suggestions from the high cultures of the south. Suggestions that would have allowed them to finally do agricultural farming. Not unknowingly, but due to the climate in relation to cattle keeping, low income can explain the underestimation of the work on the fields. Yes. So. And so far why were the cattle herds and cattle herds have seen the cattle horn as a positive symbol. You can certainly see that. Yes. You can imagine that. Yes. Now to the religion of the cattle herds. So. In the last part I have already said that the megalithic people have spread out from the western Baltic Sea via Egypt to India to Japan. And they were also in Sumeria. I have That's a shame now. Because it's about the depiction C which here of course is now incredibly small. This is a Sumerian roll seal namely the roll seal to Phara 2600 B.C. I'll try to enlarge it a bit. To enlarge. It's about this figure here. Yes. Now it is of course blurred. So there was no original depiction on the Internet which then maybe would have been bigger. I don't know. From a roll seal. So that was the only thing I could find. This is a drawing which is of course a bit small now. It is depicted by the archaeologists as a bull-dressed warrior. Yes. You pay attention to the horns. Yes. He carries a strange weapon. You don't really know what a weapon is. And what is also interesting you have later with the Egyptian pharaohs what is seen here as an animal tail hanging on the pharaoh's belt but here it is too deep for the belt. This is still the animal tail. So in my opinion this is also not a dressed warrior but a depiction of a god already. Well, but the archaeology is limited. So it is depicted as a dressed warrior. You often have such depictions as a dressed warrior. I come across it regularly. And similar figures are also found in Scandinavia which are shown as rock pictures in Scandinavia. There is no roll-tape. So drawn on rocks. Characteristics of these figures are horns, axe and tail. That's what it's about. Yes. And you have to resort to such depictions because from the time 4000 before the time of the dolmen builders they left no depictions. So. Then we have here the Nama palette. The so-called Nama palette. It is also in a museum. It is Egyptian. It is named after King Nama. He was also shown here in the middle. He was the last ancient Egyptian king before the dynasties and he ruled around 3000 B.C. Yes. It is not so much about the depictions of King Nama but it is about the upper part left and right that is the Egyptian cow goddess Hathor. Yes. And 3000 B.C. where this palette was made during Nama's reign the goddess Hathor still horns and cow ears. Later I have the palette that exists from front and back that is yes that is also a part of the palette but I did not want to go beyond that. I just wanted to show that is the back that is also Hathor the Egyptian cow goddess with horns and ears upper left and upper right. She was in ancient Egypt a very important deity and that goes back to the cattle herds the megaliths because yes it is in Egypt it is not to see why in a Nile valley with a lot of farming possibilities and a big food supply there is still a cow goddess she is also called milk goddess why you should worship her but you have they are tolerant in later times here she is still very big from the Egyptian sky you only have the horns so she has on later representations only cow ears a human face and cow ears the horns are then fallen off and yes references to the beginning of the cattle herds in Egypt enable the two symbols spiral and horn I'll do the spiral next time this was the symbolism I only refer to the symbolism horn you find these symbols together in tombs and temples the bull horn is a status symbol of the gods kings and warriors the bull is in the pyramid texts a commonly used symbol the bull horns on the head with cap or helmet are a status symbol well suited because they fall off in battle the horns are rather hindering you also had for a while the vikings with horn helmets that is also wrong such helmets are not suitable for combat that was not the case with the Egyptians these horn helmets are a status symbol yes and remarkable is the wide spread and the long duration of the use of horn symbolism already on the Scandinavian rock drawings I did not have I could not I only have them as small drawings I did not take them into the photos because then you get no good picture these are also not to be found on the internet why I do not know you can find this here because this is the palette of King Nama and the cow goddess Hathor the Scandinavian rock paintings I could not find then I could show them a little bigger with these drawings that's not so nice that's why I don't show them now so the oldest reference to the religion of the cattle herds comes from Egypt with the goddess Hathor there she still wears cow horns and also with the Sumerians the horns are a status symbol of the upper class but it is not this depiction here meant it will also be here I have a horned helmet also from Sumeria yes it is interpreted as a warrior but in my opinion because of the hoof I think that this is not a warrior so ah yes with the Sumerians there are horns as a status symbol and Herodotus already reports that in the army of Xerxes groups wore a horned helmet and on the helmet sat ears and horns of oxen made of ore 100 years later the Greeks wore in Persian services Xerxes is Persian now we are with the Persians and now we come to the Greeks 100 years later the Greeks wore in Persian services horned helmets but without ears ears were no longer represented King Khusrav I of Persia is portrayed with a helmet then we have Baal, Sapan the god of the seafarers he wore a horned crown and 1200 BC at the time of the Turkish migration the symbol appears in Sardinia on Cyprus and in Denmark Alexander the Great is portrayed on a coin with bull horns that was worldwide the world at that time almost worldwide spread the horn symbolism but how do you explain a prehistoric beef how do you explain a prehistoric beef myth which in the field of megalithic culture over 4000 years lived in the imagination of warrior nobility you wear horned helmets as a sign of power but why from when and where exactly became in prehistoric times the bull to the myth-making symbol of hunters and nomads you can not exactly prove when exactly that was you have these later clues which I have now counted 5000 BC where we have the first dolmens that was all Egypt, Sumeria, Persia that was all later and the oldest clues to a bull cult originate in northwestern Europe from the area of ​​the Pyrenees and southern France with the famous bull pictures of the cave paintings I had that here where do I have that you know that here above the clock with the wild bull clock and above it is a cave painting you know that there are a lot the cave of Lascaux for example there are very often bulls depicted especially in Lascaux striking from Anatolia there are clues to a bull cult from Sartal Huyg that was 6000 BC yes and how a bull cult was created that can only be assumed certainly appears that it must have been an area in which during the last Ice Age cattle lived that means an area with large grasslands as I explained at the beginning yes and the almost divine worship of the bull so originating from the wild bull clock in the old high cultures but suggests that man to the wild bull in gray prehistory encountered in the wild yes so it is hard to imagine that a tamed bull can become a symbol of a warrior master class an abandoned herd animal so the cult must have arisen when the wild bull probably the clock was not yet domesticated because the valley of the Nile for climatic reasons but hardly ever a grassland for free moving cattle herds can be an original natural religion in which cattle are worshipped yes so for a high age of the cult also speaks the idea that at a time in Egypt already the anthropomorphic gods so the humanized gods for example as horns wearing Hathor Hathor has a human face with horns that means with the term yes so yes that is speaks for a high age of the cult that can not at this time be reintroduced when you just the Hathor because the Hathor in Egypt already anthropomorphic appears with human face and horns so it has to be somewhere else come this idea the milk goddess the cow goddess in Egypt the worship of the cow in Egypt is difficult to explain because there was a large food supply so it can not be from there not dependent on the milk of the cows if there a cow died then you had other food sources if the cattle herd the cow died several people can be starved that can not be compared cattle can also in pre-dynastic time on the decorated vessels for example of Negade 2 do not prove Negade 2 that was 3500 to 3300 before the time that is from archaeologists so called time in Egypt 3500 to 3300 before the time right-angled tombs appear very interesting before the Egyptians simply buried in earth holes yes and on these decorated vessels of Negade 2 that you found there are no no cattle there are mufflers, deer, elephants turtles, birds double birds 120 fish but not a single cow and it is the question whether in an area with such hunting animals that I just counted a natural religion in which the highest goddess cow horn as a status symbol on the head can be created these all interpretation difficulties but you do not have if you assume that the cattle cult in Egypt was introduced by the megalithic yes then suddenly it all makes sense the old natural religion from the north must then adapt to life in a southern agrarian land so the megalithic were originally hunter nomads and cattle herds and then throw an area on the Nile that offers plenty of other food they occupy a fertile river oasis and that's why they have the old natural religion because milk was only one food next to many others the survival does not depend on the milk production of the cows yes Hathor keeps in Egypt as a symbol the cow ears she only wears later in later time no longer the horns like on the Nama palette which we see here in front of us that changes and then I have so from this time 4000 before the time we have no representations of the belonging god which develops from the cattle cult like Hathor is also a belonging goddess now in Egypt there we have no depictions so there are no pictures we have these Scandinavian rock drawings yes but they are also from later time and he has then in the course of time a change of meaning made so here for example this is Xernunnos this is a Celtic main god and this relief why do you recognize that this is the Celtic Xernunnos and not another belonging god yes because he has on the horns the torquoise that is the Celtic neck from this it has been concluded that it is the Celtic Xernunnos there are also gods belonging to other cultures and this relief was found under Notre Dame yes at random excavations more or less yes what then means that Notre Dame must have been built on a Celtic cult site otherwise the relief would not be below yes this is a drawing of this relief again he also wrote it on the relief this is the original it doesn't say you take it because of the torquoise so here we have again the Celtic Xernunnos but here he already wears a deer antler these are not cattle horns he is still the belonging god but here is a deer antler you can see right next to it you can see that it is almost identical this is from the Kessel of Gundestrup you may not even know this Kessel that was found in Denmark and yes this is proof that this is Xernunnos he also has the torquoise in his hand and the snake yes this here this is interesting from a church in the Middle Ages and the one who photographed it assumes that this is the Celtic god Xernunnos because of the deer antler you don't know he is definitely already christened and also assumes a different attitude so then we have the Greek pan excuse me the pan is depicted as an animal person with box hooves but without horns on the head these are further developments transformations this here is the three-headed god he is often equated with the belonging god but he doesn't have horns so over time a change of meaning here I have the Germanic free of completeness he also wears a deer antler the Germanic also had a belonging god this one and is also already a deer antler the gods of the Germanic and the gods of the Celts are often closely related there is actually in the god world he also has the antler as an animal Zenunnos doesn't but in any case also belongs then I have the completeness the Germanic also had the image of in their god world the image of the fertile cow this is Autumla which stands for abundance which also licks the first humans here she licks the ice and comes later Aaske and Embla appear yes and it also stands for the nourishing the fertile so from this megalithic time these are of course you know these are all later depictions the earliest is as I said here the figure C from Sumeria and followed by Hathor in Egypt here from the Nama Nama palette yes from King Nama 3000 BC yes he lived and here from this church this figure yes well that was the origin of the hearing god there are of course also modern religions around the hearing god which I don't address here because it has nothing to do with the origin in the megalithic religion directly until Celts and Germans I went so far but there are of course modern forms but that is not an object of my contribution but here it is about the ancient religion the hearing god and the sun spiral in the next part we do the sun spiral and if you liked the video I am happy about a thumbs up and about new subscribers and until next time your Silbenfee
