Summary:

This scholarly work explores the religious beliefs, mythology, and cultic language of ancient Indo-European cultures, primarily focusing on their linguistic and cultural heritage from around 3000 BCE. The authors, Norbert Oettinger and Peter Jackson Rova, provide a systematic investigation into the terminology, motifs, and deity names found in early cultic and mythological contexts. The book examines connections between ancient religious practices and their linguistic expressions while synthesizing historical, philological, and archaeological findings. Intended for specialists in historical linguistics, religious studies, and cultural anthropology, the text aims to deepen the understanding of the shared cultural and religious foundations of European, Anatolian, and Indo-Iranian traditions, including their influence on modern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism. Through rigorous analysis and a collaborative approach, the authors offer a groundbreaking contribution to the study of early religious culture and its linguistic impact on later civilizations.
