Dyeus

Dyeus is the Name of God found within the ancient Proto-Indo-European peoples. Dyeus was the chief deity of the Proto-Indo Pantheon and was associated with the daytime sky, making Dyeus related to Sky Father. Dyeus fulfilled the role of both patriarch and monarch of the Proto-Indo-European people. Since the last Proto-Indo-European died thousands of years ago, this Name was lost until very recently when historical and archeological studies brought it back to light. 
AKA: Dyewis, Dyeus Phater.
== Facts: ==
-The Proto-Indo-European people are considered the ancestors of the modern Europeans. They themselves originated from the first Caucasians who appeared among the Caucus Mountains. The Indo-Europeans spread outward, forming roughly three main migrations, one went south to become the ancient Egyptians, one went into Europe, becoming the European peoples we know today, and another went west, becoming the Slavic (ie, Russian) peoples. 
-Scholars believe that Dyeus had a consort of sorts, "Pitwih Mehter" or "Earth Mother" (ie, Gaia). 
-Zeus, Dagda, Jupiter, Tiwaz and other Chief Gods of later European peoples are believed to be variations of Dyeus. 
-'Dyeus' of course is where the Latin word 'deus' comes from. 
-Some of Dyeus' later variations are associated with storms and lightning, although this is believed to be a later confusion regarding Dyeus and another prominent member of the Proto-Indo Pantheon, Perkwunos.
