Recommended: Earliest pre-flood narratives

In the earliest pre-flood accounts there are tatters of sacred memory that appear to precede Adam as He is presented in Genesis. The story of Adam is not unique. There are other stories about Creation and the “First Man”, which are truly amazing. All have similarities. Differences arise from the passing of vast ages, and rumors which spread across vast spaces.
The beginning of the last Age was a long, long time ago. And that “First Being” or quite probably multiplicity of Beings is referred to by people from all over this planet. There are threads which connect all of the names we will explore, to the title “First”; but it is quite obvious that most of the stories contain combinations of three or more unique Manifestations. The tales are somewhat …show more content…

Some are labeled, and re-labeled as gods, goddesses, titans, demi-gods, and heroes. But if one takes the time to peel the onion, a special unicity becomes apparent. There are similarities between various recollections of events or people, yet there are some very surprising dichotomies which I am sure you will appreciate in the following renditions. Most of them explain the overall period of time before the flood.
Now let’s enjoy exploring the picture of the “First” Manifestation of the last Age, as pieced together from many peoples, languages, and backgrounds. In order of presentation: 1. Nu Wa 2. Fu-Xi, Shennong, Huangdi 3. Gayomart, Siamak, Hooshang 4. Adam, Seth, Enoch
5. Ram or Rama, Asclepius/Aesculapius and Abaris 6. Yima/Jamshid 7. Adapa or Uan and 8. Melchizedek

“Creation” Stories share four concepts: 1) Creation of heavens and earth 2) proto-human or pre-physical existence 3) man becomes embodied on the earth as some sort of human, to begin the fight of good versus evil, light and darkness and 4) the rise of agriculture helping to stave off famines, and increase health and …show more content…

The remote one called Nu WA would most likely have nurtured mankind from primal human memory, perhaps even back to Ardipithecus or the Australopithecines 4 - 6 million years ago in Africa.
In the beginning there was as yet no moral or social order. This was the time of a pre-nuclear family. Children only knew their mothers as immediate parents, not specific fathers. Childbirth was not usually associated with the attentions of one male and children were raised by the mother and other available individuals.
When hungry, Nu WA’s people searched for food. When they were sated they threw away the remnants without regard for the next meal. Like many animals they devoured their food hide hair, blood and whatever.
If needed, they made nests, beds, or simple shelters, and occasionally used leaves, bark, mud or rushes; to cover parts of their bodies. (Fu Xi

    Though the two Creation stories are supposedly intended to be connected - even interchangeable - the only similarity they share is the presence of the omnipotent God and His role in the creation of the earth. Where the first creation describes a detailed, six-day process in which God first delineates day and night, establishes the physical world, and then finally creates man, the second creation is a much simpler process, one almost contradictory to the first story's strict schedule.

    A creation myth is an explanation of how the world began and how people first came to inhabit it. Every creation myth is different, but there is similarity in most of them. Motifs are recurring ideas that help develop a theme and these motifs are common in many creation myths. Three similar motifs are the idea of a supreme being, the idea of people being created from organic material, and the idea of rulers being overthrown. These concepts appear in the Inuit, Greek, Hindu, Chinese, Norse, and many more myths. These three motifs connect to one another and are common in many creation myths.

    Myths – as they are known to most of the world – give insight into the pasts of various countries and religions as the people saw them. They have been used to explain phenomena in nature or describe the tales of courageous and important men and women throughout history. Creation myths in particular define how the Earth itself was created, along with the universe, heavens, hell, people, and creatures that exist today. Genesis of Christian mythology, for instance, tells the story of how the single deity God spoke and formed everything from day and night to man and woman.

Despite the many similarities between the two stories, the differences are revealed in a number of different topics that distinguish the biblical version of the story from the ancient version.

    Genesis is the first of the Five Books of Moses and it describes the time from Creation of the world to the descent of the Children of Israel to Ancient Egypt. Genesis itself is broken up into four literary movements, primeval history being the first. Primeval history is composed of the first eleven chapters of Genesis and during this time, the world was created. Throughout each of the four movements, however, the narrative’s focus shifts from the entire created order, to humanity, to the family of Abraham, to one of Abraham’s grandsons, and then finally culminating in the creation of the tribe of Israel and the presence of Israelites in Egypt. The creation of the world is said to have taken place between six literal days and in each of these days, some piece of the world was created and on the last day, the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve, were created...

  • Similarities in the Mythologies of Creation

    1307 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout history many civilizations and cultures have had their own ways of explaining the world and its creation. Each of these civilizations has created unique descriptions and accounts of such events. However, when comparing them to each other, are they really different? Look at the ancient Greco - Roman creation myths as told by Hesiod in his Theogony and Works and Days and Ovid’s Metamorphoses, when compared to the creation myths as seen in the Old Testament’s book of Genesis they may not be as different as one would think. Taking a more in-depth look at both Genesis and Hesiod’s and Ovid’s work more closely, the reader can see that on multiple occasions the myths have almost identical similarities which reflect their views in society. The similarities in particular are the myths of the creation of man, women with their subsequent role of evil in ancient times, and the great floods. These similarities prove that even though these two scriptures were centuries apart, the concepts presented in each myth were almost identical to one another.

    About fifty thousand years ago, the human cultures started to be more and more similar to modern culture. The hominids killed animals not only to feed themselves but also for the production of clothing (Pickrell, 2006). The hominids had the sense of shame. They used hides to cover their body. Besides, the hominids have the thought to bury their companions (Pickrell, 2006). It is an idea of group or family. With the final formation of human society, people developed and valued quickly. The oldest cave painting had more than thirty-three thousand years’ history (Pickrell, 2006). It is the proof of original humans’ pursuit of art. Almost ten thousand years ago, the systematic agriculture appeared, developed and spread with an amazing speed (Pickrell, 2006). Humans started to plant cereal and raise and train livestock. After that, the Bronze Age carried on the Stone Age (Pickrell, 2006). The change of tool materials helped people have higher efficiency when they were working. At the same time, the first recorded human culture appeared in Mesopotamia (Pickrell, 2006). Until this time point, human beings finished their evolution from ancient apes to modern humans. The process, which had experienced more than hundreds million years, was the most wonderful evolution on the
