Our Creation Similarities

There seem to be many common threads running through the various creation myths we have already heard in our mythology class.

In the beginning, it was dark...
In the beginning, there was no land...
In the beginning, there was a lonely god or creature...
In the beginning, there was no one; and then the animals were created and then people were created...
In the beginning, there was the number seven and eggs and circles and floods; spiders, ants, trees and lightning; and the whole earth was perfect until people ruined themselves upon it.

But how did it all begin?

There were giants. And ravens. And death and diving and the emergence of land from the water.

But how did it all begin?

With dirt, blood, clay, water and sky.

And light.
