Ukko : the God of thunder of the ancient Finns and his Indo-European family | |||||

Autor: Salo, Unto AnotaceIn this investigation into the mythology associated with the Finnish sky god Ukko, Unto Salo, professor of archaeology at the University of Turku, tells us that around the fourth millennium B.C., the skies above Stone Age Finland were ruled by an Eagle Thunderbird. However, evidence for this Thunderbird disappeared after an anthropomorphic Indo-European god arrived from the Aryan skies over the steppes, hurling thunderbolts from the clouds. First called by the Finns simply Ilmamo or Ilmarinen (ilma = sky), but later known familiarly as ukkonen (the old man), Ukko became the Finnish god of thunder, lightning, fire, wind, and rain. It was at this time, around 2000 BC, that the manufacture of stone hammer-axes, the weapon of Ukko and neighboring Indo-European sky gods, began in Finland, and when around 500 BC these were replaced by metal hammer axes, forges came under Ukko's care because the forging of metal weapons required fire, wind, water and magical incantations.
