 Folklorists think that Nuberu is an Asturian remnant of the ancient god Taranis, who also ruled over the skies and was worshipped in Asturias until the Middle Ages.Other folklorists connect Nuberu with either Thor or Donar, or even Odin since both of them are cunning and lack an eye.Other folklorists, such as Aurelio del Llano defend the Phoenician origins of this tradition.
