Enarei from Anarya(effeminate/unmanly men) were an important part of the ancient Scythian society. They wore women's clothing, performed women's jobs and customs and spoke in a feminine manner.....
They played an important role as priests and shamanistic soothsayers in the Scythian religion. The Enarei priests were especially consulted when the king of the Scythians was ill.
The Enarei performed Artimpasa's(goddess of fertility,warfare)cult and played an important political role in Scythian society as they were believed to have received the gift of prophesy directly from the goddess Artimpasa.
Artimpasa was the Scythian variation of the Zorastrian pantheon Aṣ̌i/Arti.
Another interesting is about the Amazon warriors which according to some were actually Enarei. According to Palaephatus- "This is my view of the Amazons, that they were not women who waged war, but barbarian men, and that they wore clothing which extended over their feet,...
like that of the Thrakian women, and that they bound their hair in hair-bands and shaved of their beards like ..." And that is why they were called women by their opponents. The Amazons were a people that excelled in fighting.But fighting..
was never for women; nor is it so anywhere today."
According to Herodotus report, among the Scythians there were many eunuchs, the enarei (enaree - effeminate), who spoke with high-pitched voice and were engaged in female works; many of them were shamans. Scythian Shamanism...
involved religious ecstasy through the use of entheogens; they had no temples and worshipped the forces of nature.

I understand the concerns, sir, but let me clarify that I wasn’t involved in anything related to the accusation that have been made. The snippet I shared came from a spreadsheet I have, which I got through one of my acquaintance who have access to some folks who again have
connections with well-known Indian pop geneticists or someone associated with labs. Given certain circumstances ,I felt compelled to post it.
As far I have heard, this data might hv originally been shared by someone associated with the lab itself, possibly out of discontent over
repeated delays or even due to bribe. Of course, I can’t verify that firsthand, but that’s what I have heard(maybe some other reason as well).
To be clear, my intent was never to mislead/cause any issues(I just posted what I have known about these samples). If there’s something
Rig Veda 10.18.4 says:
I erect this circle (of stones) for (the protection of) the living, that none other of them may approach this limit; may they live a hundred years, occupied by many holy works, and keep death hidden by this
mound.
Dead body cremation was also a key feature of Andronovo (Fedorovo type) ritualism & was widely practiced across the culture’s region,which have been linked to the cult of fire and sun, believing the funeral fire had purifying and regenerating power. Another thing is that
cremation & burial sites were always separate, and according to researchers, this may be because cremation reduced an adult’s weight to that of a child, which was necessary for entering the afterlife. Children on the other hand were not cremated ,who served as a weight standard
A huge patrilineal displacement of AASI(even before Aryans)!That's why most Indians carry the mtDNA haplogroup M, which is linked to the Out of Africa migration and represents the first migrants in the subcontinent, linked to AASI. In contrast, the paternal counterpart
haplogroups like F,C, are almost negligible in the Indian population & are only found predominantly among some South Indian tribal groups like Paniya,Paliyan. Instead,the most common patrilineal haplogroups in India today are R1a,L, R2, and J2 which r West Eurasian in origin
& even H1(in abundance). Except, R1a(linked to steppe), rest others were found in Indus_periphery samples too. H1, though often mistaken as purely AASI, likely has origins related to pre-split(Iran_IUP?) or para-West-Eurasian lineage. It's sister Y-DNA haplogroup.....
Proto-Jallikattu seal from Indus valley civilization?
In Old Tamil poems from Kalittokai, life in the pastoral landscape is vividly depicted, highlighting festive contests of bull grappling, known as ēru-kōḷ/ēru-taluvu. In these events, wild bulls with sharpened horns were
released into an arena, where young men demonstrated their physical strength to win brides, often risking injury/death from being gored or trampled. This tradition of bull leaping still continues today in parts of South India, especially Tamil Nadu, where
it is known as erutu-k-kaṭṭu or calli-k-kaṭṭu.
In ancient West Asia and the Mediterranean too, particularly Minoan Crete, acrobatic bull-leaping was a key part of religious rituals and still persists in modern Spain's bullfighting. Indus seals also showed similar

Buddhist text and thus it is totally wrong to make him a Buddhist king again and again by these peoples. Just because he is a evil/antagonastic in Hinduism does that make him a Buddhist?? Only some moolnivasi politics involved folks are doing these things to create a fight.
Those who don't have a good knowledge on Mahayana Buddhism shouldn't post things like this. Study about Trikāya(3 bodies of Buddha) concept in Mahayana: Nirmanakaya(physical/manifest body of a Buddha that has a form i.e.Shakyamuni), Sambhogakaya(body of enjoyment/reward nd is...

In simple terms together, the 3 bodies are sometimes compared to weather—Dharmakaya is the atmosphere🌌, Sambhogakaya is a cloud☁️, Nirmanakaya is rain🌧. Sometimes Buddhas nd Bodhisattvas are said to take the form of ordinary beings so they can help others. Sometimes when we..
