The OLDEST Myths of the Milky Way
This video may cause a little controversy with those who think some paleolithic cave paintings represent the night's sky. This is a look at the mythological evidence to determine how people across the world perceived the stars and the Milky Way. I must thank Yuri Berezkin for his work that allowed this video to be made.

    Regard Omnimyth. It must be monotheistic in principle. So there is one God as source of mentioned Sentience. But even in Judaeo-Christianity there are implications that God may use numerous avatars (hivemind Ophanim/Thrones incorrectly called Seraphim) from who one has additional three avatars (Trinity) with personality aspects. One ruling heaven, other ruling creation (the twin) and third working as arbiter between two spheres. Anyway the main gods/archangels are representing specific aspects of the One God (who as perfection can be in its creation). That is in fact echoed in Hinduism (Brahman) and modern Shinto (Ame-no-minakanushi). Interestingly in Kabbala there is eight spheres of heaven and in occult there is seven sins (eight if we include ignorance). What are sort of opposition or aspects of those. So yeh... that give us 16!

Star gazing, mapping, story telling are just a few. The mapping was very accurate for its time. We minimized what ancient ancestors did. They navigated the world with what was available at the time. They did it well. Today was delightful. Such an educational opportunity for us. Thank you Jon, Simon. I've followed Jon, for ages, now will follow Simon. What a joy.

    Hey! About the number 7. There are 7 colors on the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple) there are 7 bodies in the skies whose movements were followed (mars, venus, the sun, the moon, mercury, jupiter and saturn), there are 7 chakras (root, sacral, solar, heart, throat, third eye and crown) there are 7 musical main musical notes (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si). The number 7 is not used lightly, it is used to mimic the divine which exists in nature in the colors, planets/star, sounds. Moreover 7 can represent, the 4 main elements (water, fire, air, earth) plus the 3 states (cardinal, fixed and mutable).

      The planets are the only one of those that are really genuine. The number of colors and notes is a matter of convention that could have been decided differently (seven colors was actually popularized by Isaac Newton specifically because of the already-existing mysticism), the chakras are entirely made up, and the significance of the number seven also exists in cultures that never had a 'four elements" concept.

    Great video. To give a more complete comment about "7." Originally, before 1000 BCE, 10 day and 8 day weeks started. 10 days is fairly obvious. 8 days was (at least) Egyptian in origin, could be numerological (2x2x2), the number of gods in the ogdoad or 4 cardinal directions split into male and female. The most obvious possibilities for magic number 7 are the seven "wanderers" in the sky or that, like 3, it is a prime number, which Egyptians and Babylonians were figuring out in the 2nd millennium BCE. Dividing 29 or 30 day lunar month by 4 supposed phases and getting 7 has never sat well with me, as it feels quite awkward, at least for a magic number you would use for creature heads or tree branches. That the seven headed person from the chart could have been happenstance is certainly possible. I'm not sure when magic numbers like 3, 4 and 7 could have become a thing to humans. Then again, it could just be some lost natural phenomenon like boulders, rivers, mountain tops, sacred animals at that point in time or whatever.
