I recently fell asleep watching something and YouTube was automatically starting to play documentary videos as each one ended, when I woke up, in the video that was playing, somebody was discussing the theory that the Norse God Odin originated from a real person or a group of people, the theory suggests that there is was a mutation in genes that allows the host person(s) to survive bubonic plague, considering the estimates are 30%-60% European population and 33% of the Middle East population, a group of persons with the ability to survive this would have seemed pretty Godlike and thus the origins of various Gods come into being, apparently there is such a mutation which has been documented, I was just wondering if anyone had heard of this documentary / theory ? I’ve searched my history on YouTube and hunted high and low but can find absolutely nothing, if anyone knows about it or comes across it ( and can navigate back to this comment section ) then I’d be very grateful, I’m 100% sure I didn’t dream it and the theory sounded very plausible and very interesting. Just thought I’d ask, you never know 🥷🙏🏻
