All of the civilizations around the planet have some similar stories, words, ideas and astrological concepts.
There are allegories, myths, witnessed stories and also occulted knowledge.
If you focus on one aspect like the Vikings and dig into the Etymology of native words, then that is when the epiphanies start, next comes the symbols, these were even before oral traditions.
One example of a recent book I read on the signs and symbols of man put out by an early 20th century Freemason.
This author with another Freemason went to Africa and met a Pigmie tribe. He drew in the dirt some symbols and showed Masonic have gestures. The Pygmies knew the symbols and introduced the Masons to the chief!

Thanks for sharing, bookmarked that one. Pretty fascinating - you can write off some similarities but eventually you have to start thinking there’s more to it.

It is fascinating. There is always bias but without various sources one cannot make up one's own mind with data, observation, intuition and experience.
It's like any prejudice, it works until you meet that one extraordinary person who beyond any of the stereotypes has qualities that you wish you had. Fortunately the great qualities are cultivated and most certainly are available with the right amount of work. In some cases the initiation is available, too.
You, yourself, are beyond any stereotypes. Your human life is a gift and is not to be disregarded. The psy-op from Hollywood, News and pop culture want to emphasize how much of a victim you are. They want to emphasize that your parents sucked. You dad was a shithead. Your mom, no good. But pop culture tells you that the state is here, and if you work hard supporting the state you, too will get a free phone! Or they tell you to escape into hedonism because you only live once ( and you will be harvested accordingly).
The state is making slaves. They are making a slave culture. Big pharma, Federal education, diversity, inclusion and equity are all about accepting the priest class, the warrior class, the merchants, laborers and finally untouchables. In India it's called the "Varna" which means color.
Civilization always creates these classes. Humans always end up joining the ranks of servitude. The controllers have thousands of years under their belts, blood lines and occulted practices. But! We also, all of us, have inherited millions of years of humanity, too.
This is why the Buddhist tradition is known as the "Noble Truth" Ariya Satva. The truth isn't just blood, as all humans have this blood, but it is the practices, work ethic, adventure seeking, free marketing, sailing, horse riding, farming, meditation, astrological observing, physical conditioning and Trivium learning that makes a man, Noble.
Once again, we face the truth that we inherited struggle but in order to overcome struggle we do the work. Proof of work as the Bitcoin pleb would say. If you are capable of sorting out things, seeing what is good and what is not good, you are capable of sorting out your self from the mess also. This is where the ego is healthy. The ego makes sure the right body gets fed, not just anybody.
Eventually the ego upon cultivation becomes a powerful unit and then, organized, expands to see humanity and life itself as a reflection. As above, so below. As it is inside, so it will be outside.
