Chapter 552 The Vedic Gods of the Vedic Age
The name of Yan Mo [Hades], the god of death, is Yan Mo Luoja, also known as Yan Mo, Yan Mo, Yan Mo, King Yama, King Yama, Ye Mo, King of Ye Mo, Yan Mo, Yan Mo, who is in charge of death and death. God who judges the dead.

Around 2000 BC, the Aryan branch of worshiping the god of thunder, the Vedic people, brought the god of thunder Dahaka [Zeus Indra], the god of fire Apa Osha [Poseidon Agni] When Mana, the god of plague [Hades·Yama], came to the Persian plateau, this god already existed in Persian mythology.

After the Vedic people entered the Indus River Plain, they began to implement the prototype of the caste system here.

In order for the Dravidians to accept the rule of the caste system, Brahmanism created the concept of reincarnation, allowing the Dravidians to believe that they will enter the underworld after death, and Yama, the lord of the underworld, will reward and punish them according to their behavior in life.

As long as you endure the suffering silently, you will be able to receive preferential treatment from Yan Mo after death, and even be reincarnated into a high caste.

In the early days of the Vedic era, Yan Mo [Hades] was still a kind god of death, not a terrible god. He would kindly treat the dead as guests and enjoy banquets with the dead.

As the Aryans completely dominated the Indian region, the Brahmins living at the highest level in the entire society, in order to consolidate the caste system and dominance, and warn people not to commit crimes, described Yama from a kind Lord of the dead to the dead and all death gods The king, that is, the master of hell, has many subordinates.

Yan Mo has also become a terrifying deity who will torture the unworthy dead with various tortures.

This approach made people fear the god Yan Mo, and with the eastward arrival of Buddhist and ancient Brahman culture, Yan Mo became the Lord Yama, the Lord of the Underworld in the mainland of China.

Varuna, the water god, was one of the five most important deities of the Vedic era.

In the early days of the Vedic era - when the Aryans had just entered the Indian region and needed to compromise with the local ethnic groups, Varuna, the water god, was the ruler of the heavens, and Indra Varuna became a two-in-one with Indra .

As the Aryans became more and more powerful in the Indian region, the authority of Varuna as a native god continued to decline, and eventually became a pure water god.

The evolution of the water god Varuna is enough to prove that he is not an Aryan god brought by the Vedic people.

In contrast to the constant decline of the water god Varuna—the Aryan wine god Soma [Dionysus] continued to grow stronger in the Vedic era.

Soma is the name of a kind of vine. The stems are soaked in water, and the yellow juice is squeezed with stones. After fermentation, it can be brewed into Soma wine.

In Indian mythology, the nectar of immortality that makes the gods live forever, and makes the gods and Asuras wage wars for competition is actually soma wine.

In Indian mythology, Indra, the king of the gods, was addicted to drinking soma. After drinking a huge amount of soma, he became huge and filled the two worlds.

The rise of this drinking culture gave Dionysus, the god of wine, an important position in the Vedic era. He not only obtained the identity of the moon god, but also married Ushas, ​​the sister of the sun god Surya.

In later Indian mythology, the moon god Soma married the 27 daughters of the living master Dash—27 constellations as wives, so the moon god Soma is also the lord of the stars.

Because the moon god Soma robbed the wife of Indra's mentor, the priest priest, a war of gods broke out between the gods who supported Indra and the gods who supported the moon god Somo.

In Greek mythology, Dionysus, the god of wine, was raised by goddesses in India.

Perhaps the corresponding reality is that Soma, the god of wine with the same origin as Dionysus, became a great god in India.

Soma, the god of wine in Indian mythology, married Ushas, ​​the sister of the sun god Surya.

Dionysus, the god of wine in Greek mythology, also married Ariadne, the goddess of the sun god family.

In real history, the Aryans who worshiped the god of thunder were defeated, expelled and even conquered by the Aryans who worshiped the sun god.

Although the Vedic branch of the Aryans who worshiped the god of thunder could not take revenge on the Aryans who worshiped the sun god in reality, they could still fabricate stories about humiliating the sun god in mythology—this kind of self-deception can still be done.

So in Vedic times, the sun god Surya and his sister, the dawn goddess Ushas, ​​had myths that were clearly belittled and humiliated.

In the Indian mythology of the Vedic era, Surya did not become a god after his birth.

And he was so ugly that he had no hands or feet, his body was as wide as he was tall, and he could roll like a ball.

The gods cut off the excess flesh from his body and transformed him into a mortal.

Surya became the ancestor of mankind. He was the first person on earth to offer sacrifices, and he also gave fire to mankind.

Nezha was born as a meat ball, which was split open by Li Jing and turned into a human being—perhaps it originated from the birth myth of Surya.

And coincidentally, Nezha is also a mythical figure related to flames, who can breathe out the real fire of Samadhi.

The myth of the sun god Surya is really similar to Prometheus in Greek mythology.

Prometheus is the ancestor of mankind in Greek mythology, and he is also the one who taught mankind to sacrifice, and also gave fire to mankind.

In real history, Prometheus is the Dorian god Heron who conquered the Mycenaeans [Zeus].

Because the Dorians [Heron] conquered the Mycenaeans [Zeus], ​​Heron became the ancestor of mankind in Greek mythology, taught human sacrifices, brought human fire, and was finally punished by Zeus to become a prisoner of Caucasus Mountain.

Because the Aryans who worshiped the sun god defeated the Aryans who worshiped the god of thunder, the Vedic people who worshiped Indra [Zeus], ​​the god of thunder, fabricated myths, making the sun god the ancestor of mankind and the first person to sacrifice , to give fire to mankind.

In India and Greece, the Mycenaeans who worshiped the thunder god and the Vedic people humiliated their enemy gods in exactly the same way.

Prometheus [Hiron] eventually became Zeus' prisoner in mythology because the Dorians could only settle in a corner of the Peloponnese Peninsula in the end.

The status of the sun god Surya in Indian mythology was elevated because the Aryans who worshiped the sun god entered India, and the Aryans and Vedic people who worshiped the thunder god recalled the fear of being dominated by the sun god.

Ushas, ​​the goddess of dawn, is the most beautiful goddess in Indian mythology. She always maintains the image of a girl and appears as a graceful dancer riding a chariot.

Her duty is to open the door of the sky to usher in the dawn, and spread the light of hope to dispel the darkness.

dancer -

Just from the image of Ushas, ​​it can be seen that she and the sun god Surya are both gods created by the Vedic people who worship the god of thunder with the mentality of revenge against the sworn enemy, the sun god.

When the Aryans who worshiped the sun god dominated India, Ushas, ​​the goddess of dawn, rose in Brahmanism and was one of the most worshiped goddesses.

Indra the god of thunder [Zeus], ​​the god of fire Agni [Poseidon], the god of death Yama [Hades], the god of wine and moon god Somo [Dionysus], the god of water Varuna, Surya, the sun god, and Ushas, ​​the goddess of dawn—these were the Vedic gods of the Vedic era.

Except for Yanma, the god of death who is in charge of the underworld of the underworld, and Varuna, the indigenous water god, all the Vedic gods are sky gods.
