"Archetypes always have links. And so have figures." Agreed, by definition
of "archetype". And so I wonder if Gothic architecture of "the natural Gmc.
instinct" has an IE archetype, based on the + shape and Brahmin world-view.
So has bronze-age governance-symbolism continued into the church era, so
that in effect Europeans express Brahmin /IE concepts and thus they created
the League of Nations /UN in 1919? ( with the +  being the symbol of the
Third Reich and Soviets).
chimera

Theo Homan:

 Hello,

Archetypes always have links.
And so have figures.

Hi Theo,

Yes, I must say that I am at a loss here. Maybe my way of thinking is too
rigid for this, but when I read Hermann Wirth's ideas on Occidental
civilisation and about his three-headed god in Europe which he also claims
to have found in Papua New Guinea, and after I read about British medieval
monks thinking that Brutus founded Britain and gave it hsi name (hence;
Britain) after the Trojan war, and after someone wrote that the word 'Scots'
derives from their founders, the 'Scythians', I have grown very skeptical
about anything connected to Scythians, tripartite world views &
Indo-European explanations, Troy and the like.

Best regards,

Marcel.

Marcel et al.,

By the way, the main deity of the pre-Christian Slavonic
Polabians/Pomeranians (apparently with their religious center on the island
of Rugia/Rügen at one time or other) was Triglav (<
*tri-golva"three-head").  His triple-headed effigies, mostly wooden,
have been
unearthed in areas along the Baltic Sea shore.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
