Indians have their own version of Valhalla, well technically theirs is older so likely Valhalla is influenced by theirs
They call it Indra Sabha, Sabha meaning court. Indra's Court where the martyred brave go, and are welcomed by Indra himself.

Their other heaven as per rig veda, for those dying non battlefield deaths, is a vast grassland with cows grazing on it, as the heavenly river flows, basically a heavenly version of the gangetic plains, where you live in the grass with many cows and a great river

you're the guy from bha who lives in SA right?
kirk didn't die in battle though he got slaughtered
i mean none of this in disrespect, i love india and love hinduism much more than any abrahamic faith.
idk what indra sabha is but if it sounds like tlalocan that makes a bit more sense but his death wasn't accidental so im not sure he's there either. I think he's just on the way to the underworld now, his debts to the world have been repaid with his blood like all ours will be, it's his time to rest.

since Indo-Aryan culture along with Sanskrit language is one of the Indo-European ones, there'd be some connections between Hindu and Greek mythologies as well.
don't know if his statement is true though.

if all gods are just the same thing through different human lenses it's not surprising different cultures would have similar gods, people would be fashioning different gods to suit the same purpose.

Get your shit stained hands of my culture

indians go to Valhalla after digesting 20kg of cow poop

not sure if Hera/Ira are actually connected, but Zeus is like Deus in Latin i.e. God and shares genealogy with Dev. That's like one of the most well-known IE cognates.

>>214791927 (OP)
Sort of true. You meet Indra dev in Svarga. Just the PIE myth of meeting sky daddy in his abode.
>>214792455
The only similarities are Zeus and Indra being called Dayus Pater but they're also considered the son(s) of Dayus Pater themselves. Odin is the odd one out of the three from PIE.
Hera/Ira is reaching. Mostly because the mythos surrounding Zeus and his family-siblings, sons and daughters are just blatant revisionism of the deities worshipped before PIE by Minoan Greeks.

For example, Athena was worshipped as a fertility deity(Linear B tablets) but after PIE influence, she becomes the daughter of Zeus and is born from the head of Zeus Patr.

Yes.
Deus/Dayus/Daeva-all related to Sky Father. He wasn't treated in accordance with the Abrahamic version of a singular God. It was a title. Held by many Zeuses, and Indras over time, that is the best guess. All of this originates from the R1Apists that migrated out of the banks of the Volga river around 2500 BCE.
