Whereas amongst the Indo-European cultures that ventured East, most notably the Scythians and Indo-Aryans, we find numerous examples of chariot burials, in Scandinavia the boat burial is analogous. It appears that during the Nordic Bronze Age, the Indo-Europeans of the north-west subsumed an earlier boat cult native to the region which took on the role of the chariot as the most straightforward way of navigating the Nordic coastlines.
"Friday" retains an almost uniform pre-Christian tradition accross European languages. In Romance languages, the name for Friday is a variant of the Latin diēs Veneris (Venus' Day).
French: Vendredi
Spanish: Viernes
Italian: Venerdi
The Greek ἡμέρᾱ Ἀφροδῑ́της (hēmérā Aphrodī́tēs) uses the Goddess Aphrodite, their equivalent to Venus.
The Germanic langauges also base the name for Friday upon their Goddess of broadly equivilant function; Frejya.

Four of Six plates on a Sami i.e. Laplander Runic Calendar.
The Calendar is carved in reindeer horn. Eiríkr Magnússon suggests a date between 1230 and 1391 CE for the prototype of this particular calendar.

Indo-Uralic Hypothesis
There's a theory proposed by some linguists that's gaining traction, namely that the Indo-European and Uralic languages come from the same source - Indo-Uralic - evidenced by non-coincidental similarities, specifically verbologically and morphologically. The most popular version of this theory is that the ancestors of both the Indo-Europeans and the Uralic peoples shared a common homeland in the Urals in the 7th milennium BCE. The divergence arose in the Khvalynsk, Sredny Stog & Yamnaya cultures when the Eastern Hunter Gatherers (EHG, Indo-Uralic) moved into the Pontic-Caspian Steppe and subsumed a Caucasian substrate as a result of mixing with Caucasian Hunter Gatherers (CHG in academia).
Anyway, here are some papers on the subject. See what you think:

According to a 2014 study (Raghavan et al.), Native Americans derive anywhere between 14-30% of their DNA from Ancient North Eurasians — a population from northern Siberia and component people of the Proto-Indo-Europeans.

I know that I hung
upon a windy tree
for nine whole nights,
wounded with a spear
and given to Óðinn,
myself to myself for me;
on that tree
I knew nothing
of what kind of roots it came from.
They cheered me not with a loaf
and not with any horn,
I investigated down below,
I took up the runes,
screaming I took them,
and I fell back from there.

The story of Odin's discovery of the Runes brings forth an archetype found across Indo-European mythology:
The Primordial Sacrifice.
Sacrifice dictates that there is he who sacrifices and He/She (God) to whom the sacrifice is made in return for good favour. The precedent is set by Odin who, as both divine priest and God, sacrifices himself to himself on behalf of himself. Henceforth, the structure of sacrifice is set for man to follow.

The precedent is set by Odin who, as both divine priest and God, sacrifices himself to himself on behalf of himself. Henceforth, the structure of sacrifice is set for man to follow.
A second, more well-observed archetype presented by this tale is that of the pioneer sacrificing themselves for divine wisdom. For Odin to initiate himself into the wisdom of the Runes, he sacrifices himself by hanging. In another tale, he sacrifices an eye in order to be permitted access to the Cosmic Knowledge contained within Mimir's Well at Jotunheim. This is similar to the tale in Egyptian mythology, where Horus' eye is sacrificed in his battle with Set, the deity of chaos. It is necessary for Horus to make this sacrifice in order to restore order to the throne and triumph over chaos.
When Ódhinn, Vili, and Vé sacrificed Ymir, they arranged the unmanifested #Runic energy in accordance with the multiverse pattern. They create the Nine Worlds & Yggdrasil in this manner. But at this moment, the first ordering of the runes is linear; they are arranged into "Shining Runes" (heidhrúnar) and "Dark Runes" (myrkrúnar), expressed simultaneously in a polarising yet complementary way.
Later on, the #Runes are subjected to an eightfold division, followed by the 3 rows of 8 we're accustomed to seeing today.

"There are indeed multiple inscriptions that describe the runes as "birthed by the Gods" or "came from the Gods" (reginkunnar). The Noleby runestone reads Rūnō fahi raginakudo "I paint the runes that come from the Gods," and the Sparlösa runestone (Sweden, early 11th century) reads runaR þaR ræginkundu "those runes that come out of the Gods". The runes are also described as reginkunnr (of divine origin) in the Edda (Hávamál, str. 80) which indicates that they were created by the ginregin, "almighty Gods" (str. 142)."
