The OLDEST Creation MYTH in World, and its Origins
The first and oldest stories in the world maybe lost to us, but we can reconstruct them by finding their motifs and piecing them together. In this video I look at the earliest creation myth motifs, focused particularly on the Earth Diver and Tree of Life, to do this. I will tell a few different creation stories, and discuss how motifs have evolved, mixed, and dispersed. And finally I tell a story, reconstructed from all these motifs.
If you want to support my research and see behind the scenes work, watch my videos early, and other insights then please become a *Patreon*:
