This particular book is a collaboration focused on Uralic mythology.More info: Uralic mythologies is a cover term for the mythologies and indigenous religions of the Finnic, Ugric, and Samoyedic peoples, who speak related Uralic languages. An ancestral Uralic people is thought to have divided into the Finno-Ugric and Samoyedic branches about 4,000 BCE, and again into Finnic and Ugric peoples about 3,000 BCE. The mythologies retain traces of archaic Uralic religious systems merged with foreign influences, both ancient and modern, and are similar to the beliefs of neighboring non-Uralic peoples of north-central Eurasia.
