Its name derives from óðr, meaning "incitement", "rage" and "poetry". Like many other divine beings in the Norse pantheon, it plays a complex role; He is the god of war and wisdom. He is also known as the god of magic, victory and hunting. It is symbolized by the sun and the Celtic cross.
Odin: (Alphadir, Allfather (Father of All)) Father of the gods; His throne, Hlidskjalf, is located in his hall Valaskjalf (Sacrifice of the Slain) in Asgard. From this throne he watches over all the events that take place in the nine realms (Asgard, Vanaheim, Midgard, Jotunhiem, Nidavellir, Helheim, Niflheim, Alfheim, Muspelheim). He also dominates the earth and the sky, he can turn into an eagle when necessary. Odin has only one eye that shines like the sun. He sacrificed his other eye to drink from the Well of Wisdom and gained infinite knowledge. Her messengers, the Valkyries, carry the souls of dead warriors to Valhalla. Wednesday comes from Woden's Day (Odin's Day) in English. It was identified with Mercury by Roman writers such as Tacitus. It is thought to be related to Eurasian Shamanism. Indeed, it shows very distinctive shamanic features.
Its symbols are Gungnir, the spear that never misses, Draupnir, the ring that reveals new eight rings every ninth night, and Sleipnir, his eight-legged horse. Sleipnir can travel on land and in water, and has two ravens. These ravens bring him news of the world. One of the ravens is called Huginn (thought) and the other is Muninn (memory). He is also accompanied by two wolves, Freki and Geri.
The god who can be called the Zeus of northern mythology. His children by his wife Frigg are Balder, Hod Bragi and Hermod, his child by the goddess Jord is Thor, and his child by the giant Grid is Vidar.
This gives him a new title, which is the God of Gods. The spear in his hand, on the other hand, was made from a branch that he cut off when he was saved as a result of learning the runes in the tree of life of the place where the northern mythology took place, where he hung for 9 or 7 days. It appears to be linked to the figure of the Green Man. It has also been suggested that it was Khidr and Zulkarneyn.
When the day of Ragnarok comes, Fenrir will kill Odin.

The repatriation is part of Egyptian government efforts to stop the trafficking of its stolen antiquities. In 2021, authorities in Cairo succeeded in getting 5,300 stolen artifacts returned to Egypt from across the world.
Mostafa Waziri, the top official at the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the sarcophagus dates back to the Late Dynastic Period of ancient Egypt, an era that spanned the last of the Pharaonic rulers from 664 B.C. until Alexander the Great's campaign in 332 B.C.
The sarcophagus, almost 3 meters (9.5 feet) tall with a brightly painted top surface, may have belonged to an ancient priest named Ankhenmaat, though some of the inscription on it has been erased, Waziri said.
It was symbolically handed over at a ceremony Monday in Cairo by Daniel Rubinstein, the U.S. chargé d'affaires in Egypt.
The handover came more than three months after the Manhattan District Attorney's Office determined the sarcophagus was looted from Abu Sir Necropolis, north of Cairo. It was smuggled through Germany into the United States in 2008, according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg.

He is believed to be a descendant of Levi, one of the twelve sons of Israel. According to the accounts in the Tanakh, Moses, the leader and lawgiver of the Children of Israel, is attributed as the descendant of the Torah, which is a combination of the first five books of the Tanakh.

Arab religious, military and political leader, founder and prophet of Islam. By conquering the entire Arabian Peninsula, he united Muslim dominance under a single rule, thus establishing the basis of Islamic religious belief by securing its teachings and practices, as well as the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam. He is believed by Muslims to be the person who restored and completed the later distorted monotheistic religions of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and other prophets, and was the last prophet sent by God to mankind.
