Topic: Baba idol, link between Scythians, Slavs and Irish Posted: 11-May-2014 at 15:39 |
"Baba" or "Kumir" is a type of stone statue, an idol, which first appeared in Ukraine between the 7th and the 4th century BC. They were built by Scythian and Sarmatian tribes and their meaning and purpose is still debated. It is presumed that they are associated with the cult of the ancestors. We find thousands of these anthropomorphic crosses and Baba statues in the Slavic lands of Central Europe and in old Scythian lands of Eurasia. It seems that the only other place where they are found is Ireland. If anyone hase any information about these types of stone idols from any other part of Western Europe, please let me know so that I can update the post. Who were the people who built Scythian Baba stones and anthropomorphic Cuman crosses in Ireland? How and when did they arrive there, and how come not a word can be read about them in any modern history of Ireland? The old histories of Ireland are not so silent. The old histories talk about Scythians who came to Ireland from the Caspian sea, but these old histories are ignored by modern historians as "fanciful" and "ridiculous". Maybe it is time to look at the old Irish histories again.

I have made several topics about cultural similarities between them, some of these topics are about these idols in Caspian region and Ireland, some other ones are about the similarities between Gilaki, a Caspian language, and Gaelic language, there are also some topics about some similar festivals, like the summer festival of Beltane, in some other topics I have talked about mythical similarities, especially about Nemedians, and some topics are about ancient historical sources and evidences, like what Pliny says about Gaeli people.

People jump over bonfires in some places over Greater Iran at Nowruz, and people jump over bonfires in northern Spain and Portugal at St. John's Eve. And there are a lot of fire festivals between the spring and the summer in western and northern Europe. There are too much similarities...

# 4 looks a little bit like a statue of a goddess/woman holding a vase from Mari city in Iraq.
Irish one has alien-like eyes.
What is the blue thing in the Macedonia picture?
The scythian/bosnia/blugaria/irish ones look like Egyptian ankh maybe?
(I couldn't view all the pics since i only have slow dial-up.)
Baba Yaga/Jezi Baba? Slata Baba?
Abba is father in Hebrew. There was a goddess Baba/Bau. (Polynesian Papa?)
kumir (& cuman/qun) ~ Gomer??
The Fomor / Pomeranian bit is interesting.

Are these related in any way to the "mouthless" menhirs that are found on the west coast of Ireland?

Baba, also known as Bau, is an Akkadian goddess of healing. She was depicted with the head of a dog. She was also called Nm-din-dug, or "the lady who restores to life". As such, she is an aspect of the archetypal Mother Goddess - life-giving, life-taking, life-restoring.
