Doppelgangers 161
Manage episode 480025253 series 3482666
A doppelgänger is a mysterious double or lookalike of a person, rooted in German folklore where it was often considered an omen or supernatural entity. Traditionally viewed as a harbinger of misfortune or death, doppelgängers appear in various mythologies around the world. In Norse mythology, a vardøger is a ghostly double that precedes a person, performing their actions in advance. Ancient Egyptian mythology includes the ka, a spiritual double that lived on after death. These mythological figures often symbolized the duality of the self or the presence of a soul. In reality, people may encounter someone who looks remarkably like them due to genetic coincidences, though they’re not related—an idea supported by scientific studies on facial similarities.
