King Centar Creation Myth

Thus beginning the but the animal yet again where worried that now the man would grow lonely, so then Hactcin, with a lice made the man dream of a women. When he had woken there she was, and they were instructed to eat plants and animal. From the first man and women come all people of their tribe after. Apache spirit “Holy Boy” tried to make the sun and with help of White and Black Hactcin and Red Boy they made what daylight is to us now. Shamans claimed they controlled the sun but four days after an eclipse occurred and unable to bring the light back, White Hactcin called upon the animal and with their help they created a mountain. This mountain was climbed by White, Black Hactcin and Holy boy as well as Red boy who only saw the sun was in another earth where it shined bright. Man and women where the first to climb up the mountain and there all others come up except two, an old man and an old women. They stayed behind but told the others they had to go back one day which is why when we die we go the underworld.

When the modern person ponders the formation of human beings, our mind automatically goes to Adam and Eve, whom were the first man and woman created by God according to the Book of Genesis. Before there was Adam and Eve, diverse cultures came up with myths about the construction of humans. These myths included: “The Song of Creation” from the Rig Veda, An African Creation Tale, From the Popol Vuh, and A Native American Creation Tale “How Man Was Created” Each one of these legends gives a diverse perspective on the creation of human beings.

People from early civilizations created myths which they followed in their everyday lives. These myths carried three details to explain how the world was created. Those three details were

In the beginning of the myth, the gods Plumed Serpent and Hurricane created the first plant life and the mountains on Earth. As time went by, the gods felt there was something missing because there was no noise on the planet. They then created animals to live in the forests. Once the animals were created, the gods had the intention of having the animals speak. Without language, the animals could not worship the gods properly. This left the gods unsatisfied. With this, the gods decided to create humans. The humans would be able to worship the gods and the animals would stay in the forests to serve the needs of man.

In conclusion the creation myth “The World on The Turtle's Back” describes why the sun goes across the sky, how animals were created, how balance in nature came to be, and how the moon was created and why it stays out during the night. This creation myth resembles a lot of other before

Most of the historical events that are taught today are merely fabrications of what really happened many years ago. These fabrications soon turn into myths because they are continually passed on incorrectly, but yet people still believe them to be true. Founding Myths: Stories that Hide Our Patriotic Past is filled with many historical happenings that people believe are true, and the actuality of what really happened as well. Ray Raphael, the author of the book, believes "there are three main reasons [why we cling to these myths], thoroughly intertwined: they give us a collective identity, they make good stories, and we think they are patriotic"5). The fact that

How was Earth created? How were people created? Why was everything made how it was? All of these questions and many more were asked by Native Americans, and so they came up with stories to answer these questions in a way they could understand. Some of these stories include; The Sky Tree, The Earth on the Turtle’s Back, Coyote Finishes His Work, Coyote Steals the Sun and Moon, The Blackfeet Genesis, When Grizzlies Walked Upright, and The Navajo Origin Legend.

Before the earth was created there was nothing but darkness, water, the wind, and the Hactcin (the Jicarilla supernatural beings). The Hactcin lived in the underworld, a world below our Earth as we know it now. Black Hactcin, the most powerful of them all, created animals, birds, and all other creatures from clay, and gave them life. They asked him for a companion, so that when he left, they wouldn’t be lonely. So Black Hactcin, in his own outline, created the first human from various resources the animals brought him.

In the beginning there was nothing, except God. God made everything out of nothing. He made the heavens, earth, and all things. It took him 6 days and on the seventh day he rested.

The creation myth of the Aztec religion is one that strikes me as somewhat moredrawn out of a longer type of process than that of most other religions that we havelearned about. I have found that there are a few different variations as could be the casewith some religions whereas a particular group leaning more towards one set of beliefscan sometimes skew or evolve original learning. The creation myth to the Aztecs iscontinuous story of creations and destructions called suns. The legend that tells the storyis called the “Legend of the Fifth Sun”. At the beginning of the world there was onlydarkness before the first god Ometecuhtli who by the way was both good and bad, maleand female created itself.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. After having created everything on Earth, He made man. “The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’”(NIV Genesis 2:15). Thus, He made Eve from the rib of Adam. God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge but the evil serpent, who was craftier than them, tricked Eve into eating the fruit. Eve later convinced Adam after having argued with him and he gave in. Both were punished by God for having gone against His word and would suffer the consequences of it. “So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After He drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden a cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life” (Genesis 3:23-24).

Origin myths explain the mysteries of the world and answer the question of how the earth was created and humans purpose on earth. Each culture has a different myth; in these myths, generally, the gods or the god created mankind, earth, animal, and heaven. Many of these stories present the gods with a paternalistic attitude toward the human species. The gods care for humans and provide them with essential items needed for survival. Also, the gods castigate mankind when the human race was mischievous.

Before much existed, there was water…Quite a lot of water. Then land just magically floated to the surface and along with it, a giant egg. When the egg hatched, a giant serpent, one of tremendous glory and fear came out. “Serpentem Rex”, as the serpent was called, was a regal snake with his purple, black, and red scales glistening in the sunlight. He suddenly felt a great itch and he shed his skin. What he didn’t happen to know is that in each scale was a beast and he happened to have quite the number of scales.

Many cultures have ideas on the creation of Earth. While each idea is different, they often involve two mythical beings coming down from the heavens bringing the world into existence. The Iroquois creation myth, “The World on the Turtle’s Back” is a mythological story on the making of earth.

In the Early days of Thera, the people revered the gods. Thera was an island, that was home to a volcano of the same name. For years, Terrantheus watched from the core of the planet, as the people of Thera settled the island. He had been a merciful god, allowing them to prosper on his domain, the very ground that they were on. For a time, the people respected the land, the Earth. They were kind to the planet, being simple fishermen and farmers. Enjoying a simple sustenance, Terrantheus let them continue their lives. Content with their choices, he turned his watchful eye for a number of years. He spent his time watching the other nearby civilizations, considering all who dwelled on the Earth fruits of his domain. Years had passed, before he
