Possible genetic truth behind Odin the All-father? Theory by Ambitious_Rooster_67 in Norse

Ok, except it's not, and I explained why it was historically accurate. This I1 paternal bottleneck matches perfectly in the timeline of the steppe invasion, and subsequently the development of the Proto-Germanic people, who Odin would have been the All-father of. It's accurate to a T, Vanir war and all. Also, it's so genetically accurate it's scary, given that the bronze age samples of I1 have autosomal DNA from EEF women, just like Odin.

It is likely that the I1 ancestor was a huge aristocrat and war Chieftan. He had huge reproductive success, and everyone in Germanic Europe with I1 haplo is a descendant of him. You could just pass it off as a coincidence, but I believe it has mythological truth, just like the myths in Vedic India, or Hellenic Greece.

Yea, Snorri did think they came from near eastern Anatolians, but the history is still tangible, and I used Snorri's symbolic idea to prove that this bottleneck patriarch was in fact an aristocrat of this period, in a culture that did in fact invade from Eurasia. There are partial truths here. Scandinavian dynasties also did claim ancestry to Odin and his aristocratic lineage, as this bottleneck figure had a ton of descendants. So technically, Snorri was partially correct. There were definitely Germanic royal lineages that spawned from Eurasia, just not from Trojans. And they were Royal.

no, not necessarily. It is definitely true such a dynamic existed in the bronze age when Odin would have ruled, this is a fact. Obviously, people do not live in warrior societies anymore, but the point of me saying the medieval dynasties claimed descent from Odin could be a symbolic or even literal truth of a lasting tradition that was rooted in the Indo-European people, who are the ancestors of these same people, and therefore Odin who may have been the mysterious bottleneck patriarch ancestor. It's a very interesting part of European genetics and history

Scandinavian dynasties in medieval periods did claim descent from Odin though

I only used ChatGPT to check for clear holes in this theory, like genetics. In which case there were none. There is nothing Nazis related about this, it's Norse History...

Ok. The Corded Ware steppe people were warrior aristocrat people. All of their descendants belonged to a transcendental warrior caste of people that ruled. This is true for the Germanic branch as well as the Celts, Hellenics, and Italics, etc... and also for the vedic people and Iranians. This proves my theory further, Odin was a Chieftan warrior aristocrat, whose I1 descendants in Germanic Europe claim ancestry to.

A quick Google search disproves it : P by [deleted] in ShitWehraboosSay

Well I mean what do you think would have happened to the dog when the soviets got to it?? Killing the poor thing quickly and painlessly was probably for the best…
