The Indo-European Cosmogony refers to the creation myth of the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European cosmogony. Scholars have reconstructed a proposed original Proto-Indo-European creation myth through comparative analysis of different Indo-European tales.
In theory, this story dates back thousands of years and conveys ideas not only about the creation of the world but also about the people who lived in it.
According to the tale, brothers Manu (Man) and Yemo (Twin) create the world and a hero named Trito (Third) ensures the continuity of the original sacrifice and thus the universe.
While Manu descends to become the first priest and Trito becomes the first hero and warrior, the body of Yemo is sacrificed to create "the world," becoming the first King. His head becomes the priesthood, his body the warrior class, and his legs and sexual organs the commoner class.
Interestingly, what makes a king according to the oldest creation myths is that he is a composite of the other three classes of men: Priests, Warriors, and Commoners. The priest class are healers, with knowledge of the gods and magic, representing knowledge of the self and spirit. The warriors protect the people and are knowledgeable about worldly matters and strategy. Meanwhile, the common man makes the food, the grain, the meat, and even the warriors and priests are, in truth, common men…

According to the oldest creation myths, a king's role is to embody and balance the three classes of priests, warriors, and commoners.
The relationship between each class and the king is one of interdependence. The King is considered the embodiment of the whole kingdom, and the classes work together to maintain harmony and balance in society. The priest class advises the king on spiritual matters and performs religious ceremonies. The warrior class protects the kingdom from external and internal threats and oversees military operations. The commoner class supports the kingdom's infrastructure by providing food and other essential resources.
This philosophy of life, work, and social order is not unique to the Indo-European cosmogony but is also present in other ancient cultures. For example, in ancient Egypt, the pharaoh was considered the embodiment of the gods and was responsible for maintaining Ma'at - the balance and harmony of the universe. In China, the emperor was considered the Son of Heaven and was responsible for ensuring the prosperity and stability of the empire.
This suggests an important belief of ancient people that the King and the land are one. If the land suffers, the King suffers and if the people suffer the King suffers. This is a far cry from the world of today when the poorest common people suffer in poverty while the Kings and Billionaires of the day often live in luxury and excess.
The philosophy of the three classes is a reminder that all members of society have a role to play and that the interdependence of these roles is crucial for a functioning and harmonious society. It is important for leaders to remember that they are not above the people they lead and that their actions have a direct impact on the well-being of their subjects. By embodying the qualities of the three classes and working to maintain balance and harmony in society, leaders can create a better world for all.
Today's companies are like yesterday's kingdoms, and today's kings are the CEOs and billionaires. The priesthood works in IT, performing magic in the form of app development and coding or as influencers. The warrior class is made up of those who protect the company from external and internal threats and oversee its operations. The commoner class is responsible for providing the essential resources that the company needs to function. Together, these classes form a crucial interdependence that is necessary for a functioning and harmonious company.
Creating a better world is possible if leaders embody the qualities of the three classes and work towards maintaining balance and harmony within their companies.
