there was the sky father. tiw. tyr. dyauspitr to the indians. he has a son (with mother earth/prithvi), mannus. manu, in sanskrit. heimdall, to the scandinavians. the romans recorded that the germanic peoples believe that this mannus, son of tuisto (tiw), had three sons, and that the germanic peoples they were familiar with (who would later become western germanic folk) divided themselves into ingvaeones, irminones and istvaeones. similarly, the norse believed heimdall had three sons, thrall, karl and jarl. ing is very obviously the god also known as freyr. irmin is woden (a byname of odin among the scandinavians was jormun). say istve was the thunderer. the stories seem to tie together really well. buri (tiw/dyeus) sires bor (mannus/heimdall), who sires the three brothers who represent the three functions of pie society: odin (irmin/karl) the priest-king, freyr (ing/thrall/vili), representative of providers and workers of the land, and thor (karl/istve/ve), the warrior who defends. freya/frige is their sister-wife. in fact, the ynglings claimed to be descendants of njrr and freyr, they even used his mount boar gullinbursti as their emblem, and the anglii (angle-people, hook-people) were an irminic tribe, descended from one of the primeval ancestors of all german peoples, irmin or herman (odin). the saxons or saxonii were inglings or ingvaeonic peoples, descended from ingvi lord. but why did the germans exchange tyr for odin? for the same reason that the aryans/vedics exchanged dyauspitr for indra, they needed a more warlike deity.
