Yes, and there is a reason for that.Originally Posted by cunctator
About 70 BC a great king came from east and conquered most of North Europe. This very king put his sons to rule in the diverse nations and hence gave the Royals of Europe the same kin. This great king became their mythical God; Odin/Wotan/Utan.
If you compare the chronicles of Europe with the sagas of Iceland you will find the exact same royal line back to Odin. And some go even further back to a prince of Troy; Thor with his wife Sif. Thor is the only Norse God not accounted for in the Sagas as a son of Odin and there is speculations of him being the God they blotet (sacrificed) to.
It was a tradition that great rulers of the past gained Deity status.
It would be nice if this royal line was confirmed in these papyri. A mention of Thor and his wife Sif would be especially good. Then there would be a connection to the royals of Europe.
