Hyperborea - Lost Arctic Civilization?
Hyperborea, myths of an arctic civilization appears in the legends of multiple Indo-European cultures. Was it really a myth, and could such a civilization and culture have plausibly existed? The term “Hyperborea” is a Greek word, which means “beyond the north wind.” In this video we examine traditions and myths from Greek, Indian, and Persian culture. I will most likely revisit this topic again in the future, so if you know of any scientific studies, archaeological expeditions, or myths which I did not address please leave a comment.
It should be noted that for the Vedic traditions I relied rather heavily on Balgangadhar Tilak. For the Rig Veda references I just listed them in the same format he listed them in the book (Arctic Home in the Vedas). I don’t actually know Sanskrit and have not read the Rig Veda. Therefore, if something is amiss, do let us know.
