Where's your evidence disproving Odin? THAT'S the topic here.
Jenny gets a free pass on this because avoiding the actual topic, is all you've managed to do this entire thread.
I presented it already, I've presented plenty of evidence showing that Norse mythology originated in Babylon.
If I wasn't clear before let me rectify that by posting a breadcrumb trail of receipts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin
Quote:In Germanic mythology, Odin (from Old Norse Óðinn) is a widely revered god. In Norse mythology, from which stems most of the information about the god, Odin is associated with wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, battle, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet, and is the husband of the goddess Frigg. In wider Germanic mythology and paganism, Odin was known in Old English as Wōden, in Old Saxon as Wōdan, and in Old High German as Wuotan or Wōtan, all stemming from the reconstructed Proto-Germanic theonym *wōđanaz.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_languages
Quote:The Germanic languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages
Quote:The Indo-European family includes most of the modern languages of Europe; exceptions include Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian, several minor Uralic languages, Turkish (a Turkic language), Basque (a language isolate), and Maltese (a Semitic language). The Indo-European family is also represented in Asia with the exception of East and Southeast Asia. It was predominant in ancient Anatolia (present-day Turkey)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolia
Quote:The ancient inhabitants of Anatolia spoke the now-extinct Anatolian languages, which were largely replaced by the Greek language starting from classical antiquity and during the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods. Major Anatolian languages included Hittite, Luwian, and Lydian among other more poorly attested relatives.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hittite_language
Quote:Hittite was written in an adapted form of Peripheral Akkadian cuneiform orthography from Northern Syria.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkadian
Quote:Akkadian (/əˈkeɪdiən/ akkadû,)is an extinct East Semitic language that was spoken in ancient Mesopotamia (Akkad, Assyria, Isin, Larsa and Babylonia)
Therefor it is my conclusion that Odin is derived from Pagan Babylonian religion, and a religion based off another religion cannot be true (before I hear bu but Christianity, look at my quote under religious views) any more than a story based on a 'true story' can be true, truth can only stand alone, A DERIVATIVE OF THE TRUTH IS A LIE BY DEFINITION!
It is inconceivable how you guys cannot grasp this simple concept seeing how Christianity is a microcosm of this and Christianity has it's precepts written down in a book central to all Christians called the Bible, yet you have many different versions of Christianity.
It only took the Mormons a period of less than 200 years to establish their own brand of Christianity, so to maintaining that Norse mythology is original is pure lunacy.
With that I rest my case.
