Sky Father God Num?
NUM is the highest god of the Nentsy, a Samoyed people of western Siberia. Literally, num means not only "the highest god who resides in the heavens" but also "sky, firmament." The term is found in all Samoyed languages and can be reconstructed for proto-Samoyed religion with the meanings "heaven above" and "highest god."

@DamienMarieAtHope dude! I admire your intellect… I can’t even imagine how you get down some of these rabbit holes, but most of them are Greek to me. Seriously, do you just like devour books or what?
@kinsey currently I am trying to figure out the origin or gods (High gods) (Sky Father god) and how it may have spread out from Central and Eastern Siberia relating to paganism (12,000 year old) infusion with older shamanism (30,000 years old)(also connected with animism and totemism). Sky Father God beliefs went north east then over to the Americas. It went south Eastern to China then Polynesia. It went north west to Uralic languages. It went Central Europe and proto-indo-european languages. It wend to Iran and the Caucasian mountains then from both areas south and middle east gods. Includes the Samaritans Sky Father God. And isreal and the Bible god. Egypt seems to have something similar but arrangement is different, though I think it is still all loosely connected/related.
I think it probably came from inquisitive monkeys, looking at the sky and noticing patterns. The cultivation of crops required the ability to notice the patterns of the stars and when we’re the opportune times to plant. They probably found it incredibly magical that the stars could predict the outcome of their crops. Miraculous! From there, I suspect they started to draw faulty conclusions from their basically scientific observations. It’s amazing how much astronomy ancients were aware of. That’s my two cents.
@SpinozasHeresy Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
