Snapshots of the Creation Stories
In the Arctic story, the Creator becomes a Raven and is tickled by the grass people to release the sun and light the world. The African god Bumba creates the world from a stomach-ache. In the Scandinavian story, twelve rivers are presided over by the ice giant, Ymir, who was eventually killed by his three sons. The Australian original ancestor, Karora, gave birth to bandicoots and sons. In the Native American story, a woman falls from the sky and is supported by a giant tortoise. In the Egyptian story, humankind is created in the tears of the original bird, while in the Mayan legend, people are created from the fingers cut from the hand of one of the four original gods. Brahman, the original being of the Indian creation story, took human form to divide and reunite in procreation. The Greek goddess Eurynome mated with a serpent and took the form of bird; the world was hatched from her egg. The Chinese god Pan Gu was also born from an egg. After his death, humankind was created from fleas on his body.
