Proto-Indo-European mythology is the body of myths and deities associated with the Proto-Indo-Europeans, the hypothetical speakers of the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European language. Although the mythological motifs are not directly attested – since Proto-Indo-European speakers lived in preliterate societies – scholars of comparative mythology have reconstructed details from inherited similarities found among Indo-European languages, based on the assumption that parts of the Proto-Indo-Europeans' original belief systems survived in the daughter traditions.
The Proto-Indo-European pantheon includes a number of securely reconstructed deities, since they are both cognates – linguistic siblings from a common origin – and associated with similar attributes and body of myths: such as *Dyḗws Ph₂tḗr, the daylight-sky god; his consort *Dʰéǵʰōm, the earth mother; his daughter *H₂éwsōs, the dawn goddess; his sons the Divine Twins; and *Seh₂ul, a solar goddess. Some deities, like the weather god *Perkʷunos or the herding-god *Péh₂usōn, are only attested in a limited number of traditions – Western (European) and Graeco-Aryan, respectively – and could therefore represent late additions that did not spread throughout the various Indo-European dialects.
Some myths are also securely dated to Proto-Indo-European times, since they feature both linguistic and thematic evidence of an inherited motif: a story portraying a mythical figure associated with thunder and slaying a multi-headed serpent to release torrents of water that had previously been pent up; a creation myth involving two brothers, one of whom sacrifices the other in order to create the world; and probably the belief that the Otherworld was guarded by a watchdog and could only be reached by crossing a river.
Various schools of thought exist regarding possible interpretations of the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European mythology. The main mythologies used in comparative reconstruction are Indo-Iranian, Baltic, Roman, and Norse, often supported with evidence from the Celtic, Greek, Slavic, Hittite, Armenian, Illyrian, and Albanian traditions as well.
One of the earliest attested and thus one of the most important of all Indo-European mythologies is Vedic mythology, especially the mythology of the Rigveda, the oldest of the Vedas. Early scholars of comparative mythology such as Friedrich Max Müller stressed the importance of Vedic mythology to such an extent that they practically equated it with Proto-Indo-European myths. Modern researchers have been much more cautious, recognizing that, although Vedic mythology is still central, other mythologies must also be taken into account.
Another of the most important source mythologies for comparative research is Roman mythology. The Romans possessed a very complex mythological system, parts of which have been preserved through the characteristic Roman tendency to rationalize their myths into historical accounts. Despite its relatively late attestation, Norse mythology is still considered one of the three most important of the Indo-European mythologies for comparative research, due to the vast bulk of surviving Icelandic material.
Baltic mythology has also received a great deal of scholarly attention, as it is linguistically the most conservative and archaic of all surviving branches, but has so far remained frustrating to researchers because the sources are so comparatively late. Nonetheless, Latvian folk songs are seen as a major source of information in the process of reconstructing Proto-Indo-European myth. Despite the popularity of Greek mythology in western culture,Greek mythology is generally seen as having little importance in comparative mythology due to the heavy influence of Pre-Greek and Near Eastern cultures, which overwhelms what little Indo-European material can be extracted from it. Consequently, Greek mythology received minimal scholarly attention until the first decade of the 21st century.
Although Scythians are considered relatively conservative in regards to Proto-Indo-European cultures, retaining a similar lifestyle and culture, their mythology has very rarely been examined in an Indo-European context and infrequently discussed in regards to the nature of the ancestral Indo-European mythology. At least three deities, Tabiti, Papaios and Api, are generally interpreted as having Indo-European origins, while the remaining have seen more disparate interpretations. Influence from Siberian, Turkic and even Near Eastern beliefs, on the other hand, are more widely discussed in literature.

Egyptian queen gained notoriety in history and drama as Mark Antony's wife after having been Julius Caesar's lover. She became queen upon the death of her father, Ptolemy XII, in the year 51 BCE. She shared the role of governing Egypt with her two brothers, Ptolemy XIII, and Ptolemy XIV, as well as her son, Ptolemy XV Caesar. After the Roman army led by Octavian defeated their combined troops, both Mark Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide, and Egypt was thereafter conquered by the Romans. Cleopatra was the first woman in antiquity who actively influenced Roman politics during a crucial juncture, and as a result, she became the archetype of the romantic femme fatale. Cleopatra's influence was unparalleled.

Long before Homo sapiens populated the earth, the Neanderthals lived in Eurasia.
Now, paleoanthropologists in England and France are using new archeological methods to shed light on some previously unexplained Neanderthal mysteries.
Many years before in history, before homo sapiens lived on this planet, the neanderthals populated the earth. Due to the advancement in Paleoanthropology, we more of less understand the ways of our ancient ancestors.
When asked to picture a Neanderthal, most of us immediately think of a dumb Fred Flintstone type, carrying a club, wearing fur, and finding the nearest woman to knock over the head and drag back to their cave.
Well, that’s wrong.
Neanderthals were a social and capable species, who were far more intelligent than we think.

Denisovan is the term for a group of Hominins that thrived in the middle of the Pleistocene and covered some of the most populated areas in modern history. From frozen mountains to tropical islands, blizzards to beaches this group lived throughout Eurasia, Australia, and many Pacific Islands.
Using mitochondrial DNA scientists can track past migrations of Denisovans and even tell us where their legacy lives on. You see, same as with Neanderthals, Denisovan DNA lives on in certain populations.
But, Denisovans haven’t really been well defined yet. Despite DNA profiles, several fragments of bones, and one debatable wonderfully intact skull, the group referred to as Denisovans isn’t officially classified as a species of Homo, or even a sub-species. They are for a lack of a better word, a mystery.
One of the discoveries was a hybrid Neanderthal-Denisovan, named Denny because scientists recognize a square peg for a square hole as far as naming conventions go.
