IC: Origins of Thor & Set

In my time the Nordic people used oral tradition to pass on information and to educate our children, so there was no written record of the deeds of the Norse or our  Gods till the 13th century.

For one to say Set or Thor came first would be presumptuous. Do the traits of either differ from one another?

Many scholars have identified Thor with Jupiter.
In comparison both are gods of the sky that control thunder and lightning, are children of the Earth and were at some time considered the most powerful of the gods. The same can be said about Sutekh, Raijin, and Zeus.

So I tell you, though you may not believe me, that Thor traveled the known world as far as the Orient making a name for himself, and accepting names given to him in the language of the natives.

His abilities with Auspex and his power over weather and the nature gave him the worship and power to continue living up to his name.

As for the translation into Egyptian, Set or Sutekh, the ending "tekh" has the word meaning "to drink too much" and we all know the Norse love to Drink.

For one to say Set or Thor came first would be presumptuous. Do the traits of either differ from one another?

Many writers identified Thor with Jupiter.
The comparison can be borne: both are gods of the sky that control thunder and lightning, are children of the Earth and were at some time considered the most powerful of the gods.
Same can be said about Sutekh, Raijin, and Zeus. Because of this it is believed that Thor traveled the known world as far as the Orient making a name for himself, and accepting names given to him in the language of the natives.

His abilities with Auspex and his power over nature and the weather gave him the worship and power to continue living up to his name.

Further information:
Set or Sutekh, the ending "tekh" has the word meaning "to drink too much". This has caused numerous assumptions and (historic) gibes. We all know the Norse love to Drink.
