Talk:Horse sacrifice

Norse
The Völsa þáttr does not describe a horse sacrifice. The horse was just butchered for eating (yes in those days Scandinavians ate horses, although they would later stop doing so). The lady of the household only kept the horse's penis which she brought forth at a later moment for phallic worship.--Berig 09:52, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * the Ashvamedha parallel is still striking! --dab (𒁳) 21:50, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * True, it may be worth mentioning.--Berig 16:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Lack of citations
There are no citations on this page!! While I also believe in similarity between ashvamedha and horse sacrifice, I feel it will fall into original research without citations.. leaflord (talk) 19:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

you may note the presence of a "References" section? This article is a summary of the EIEC article cited, see s.v. "horse sacrifice". --dab (𒁳) 19:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

But the "Comparative Evidence" section; it's too big to lack citations.. Can't someone who read the book put in some .ref. tags? leaflord (talk) 20:22, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

No proof of Proto-Indo-European origin for ritual
There is no proof of common origin of horse sacrifice...one of oldest source of ritual is that of avesta and it doesn't mention about horse sacrifice so proto-Indo-european origin of horse sacrifice is questionable?--Rahulkris999 (talk) 12:05, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
