Gregory's ServerLooks cool for sure! I can't find the Nostratic pantheism anymore.
I think any connections before recorded history literally spanning thousands of years are speculative at best. Though potentially cultural continuity can be inferred from material artifacts, that doesn't necessarily mean religious continuity.
Whether it even makes sense to call ancient practices a religion is debatable. It's a pretty modern term with implications that may not work

In Indo European languages there are hints of shared names for divinities reflected in Greek, Roman, Germanic and Hindu pantheons. This is fascinating!
I am not sure whether such shared linguistics roots exist in other languages. Various middle eastern groups have shared mythologies too but they had continuous close cultural contacts, also shown by Greek mythology having things in common with them.
