similar areas of the world share a concept of hieros gamos and utilize it within the creation stories. Finally‚ some of the creation stories share similarities beyond their creators and abysses at the beginning of time. The ancient creation myths explain the creation of the basic elements of the world in comparable ways. In nearly every myth‚ Earth was only the second element created.
