I begin to sing of Pallas Athene, the glorious goddess, blue-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure virgin, saviour of cities, courageous, Tritogeneia. From his awful head wise Zeus himself bore her arrayed in warlike arms of flashing gold, and awe seized all the gods as they gazed. But Athena sprang quickly from the immortal head and stood before Zeus who holds the aegis, shaking a sharp spear: great Olympus began to reel horribly at the might of the bright-eyed goddess, and earth round about cried fearfully, and the sea was moved and tossed with dark waves, while foam burst forth suddenly: the bright Son of Hyperion stopped his swift-footed horses a long while, until the maiden Pallas Athene had stripped the heavenly armour from her immortal shoulders. And wise Zeus was glad.

Chronology of Nordic Bronze Age boat images on bronzes (like razors and stuff) and on rocks.

You can see the development of the styles and increasing artistic sophistication over time.

Also perhaps increasingly elaborate boat development in those great curving prows and sterns.

Dates on the left are BC.

Horizontal divisions and numerals refer to the subdivisions of the Nordic Bronze Age chronology.

SUMMER SOLSTICE ☀️

The Proto-Uralic worldview according to Vladimir Napolskikh (1992).

Deciduous trees were seen as mediators between the middle world and the upper world, whereas coniferous trees were mediators between the middle world and the lower world. Even today sacrificial offerings are given under deciduous trees among the Finno-Ugric peoples, such as the Mari.

In the upper world there is a spring that feeds the world stream, and a lake or ocean of life, from where all human life originates and where migratory waterfowl spend the winter. The Goddess of life, the consort of the Creator God, decides over births and rebirths. She also sends the waterfowl along the Milky Way ("bird's track" in Finnish) to the middle world.

The world stream runs down to the lower world, where illnesses and all kinds of harmful things reside. This realm is guarded by the hound of the underworld, and in later times he became the helper of sages.

In the middle world there was no single supreme deity, but a host of lesser ones.

Transl.: A new reconstruction of a woman of the Fatyanovo culture. The Fatyanovo culture is ancestral to the Indo-Iranians (Aryans), who conquered India and Iran, lived on the territory of modern Russia and were genetically close to modern northern Europeans.

The summary of this is that Blondism arose on the Mammoth Steppes of Eurasia (probably northern Siberia AKA Hyperborea), and came to Indo-Europeans via their considerable Ancient North Eurasian ancestry.
