Today after awake I heard a voice telling about Edda (the old Vikings' texts) being the first part of Veda (the ancient Indian texts). This surprised me. I instantly recalled that India is believed to have been invaded by Aryan people from the North - with blond hair and blue eyes.

I tried to search on the internet on this, and found something interesting here: http://lwhasten.com/edved.html

“Edda” itself may be derived from the Sanskrit veda, or sacred vidyä, both of which are terms for “knowledge;” cognates include the German wissen, the Swedish veta, and the old English wit, for “to know” (Titchenell, p. 20).
