Even the sound is still the same,
wooden shoes on stone pavers.
Totally from earlier times,
brought back to this time.
Once again on my feet,
from the mud of my childhood.

Joan of Arc is nowadays considered a Saint and a Holy Maiden. It can be easy to forget she was burned as a witch and spent centuries afterwards framed as a horrendous and demonic witch by the clergy. This was due to her involvement in the "Witch Cults" she even met "god" at a Faerie Tree, and was likely using the names of saints to cover up who she really talking too, whether fae, gods, or fellow "pagans". More than likely she wasn't even fully aware of her nature as a Pagan, as many many people would continue calling themselves Christian while doing nothing of the sort, From Spain and France to Russia. Where some "Christians" have never even heard of Jesus. Joan was seen as a hero or even embodiment of the deity, effectively functioning as the godhead. The fact that she "dressed in man's clothes" especially her unwillingness to stop indicated to the Church and modern researchers her membership in a Diana-Style cult of a deity. Joan is not the only "saint" put over a folk hero with more pagan origins.-TLK

The Macedonian tomb of Agios Athanasios, 325-300 BC

The frescoes’ styles combine the Doric and Ionic decorations and the tomb’s pediment shows a golden sun-disk between the two griffins facing each other. It’s also possible to see, just below the pediment, the stunning Ionian frieze.

The frieze depicts a “symposium” scene where 6 men (of which some a bearded while someone else are shown as beardless) are reclining on “triclinia” with some amazing examples of colourful textiles. The first man is shown with a raising arm, asking a female flautist to start playing some music. The banquet is full of fruits and vegetables displayed on three different tables near the “triclinia”.

On the entrance sides the archaeologists also found two men figures standing. Also we see the traditional Macedonian clothes and the famous Macedonian spear: the sarissa (σάρισα) introduced in the army by Philip II of Macedon. @GreekLeague

In addition to gods, our ancestors also believed in powerful middle beings, some friendly and some hostile to man. They populated mountains and valleys, forests and meadows with giants (Hünen) and dwarves (elves), personifications of the forces of nature.
These include the helpful little Mountain Men, whom the people still said to live in the mountains of Immenstadt a hundred years ago, the equally kind Elfs in the highest mountain alps, the Moss Women mentioned everywhere, the Memminger house spirit Schlorkhanns, who helps the girls sweep the house, but also the dreaded Schrättele, who causes the nightmares and braids the horses' manes into inextricable plaits.

In the Proto-Indo-European language there are many words for animals and few for fruits, veggies, and grains suggesting a meat-based diet.

Combined with the fact that for example the Scythians were nomadic pastoralists makes the Keto diet a peak #IndoEuropean way of nutrition.

@EuropeanTribalism
In Proto-Indo-European there is a word for winter/cold (h₂ŕ̥tḱos). (It also is translated to 'bear'.)

It suggest #IndoEuropean|s originated in a more northern climate.

Colder climate indicates higher intelligence, as higher temperatures do not benefit a high cognitive performance.

@EuropeanTribalism
The language base is what forms the cognitive processes used by a people in their perception of the world. The #IndoEuropean languages are solidly based on the concept of time as a series of "events" which flow from the future to the past through the present. The verb forms and their declensions certainly show this. We face the future. "Time is like a river," said Heraclitus, facing upstream, "you cannot step into it twice."

However, this is not true for most languages. Many languages do not require people to recognize "time" as a flowing substance or for time to have significance. There are large differences between languages, which cause different speakers to use entirely different analytical methods in reaching an understanding of the world.
