How the World and Mankind were Created

"How the World and Mankind Were Created" is the mythological explanation for how the Earth formed and humans came into existence. It explains night and day, love, the Underworld and Heaven, hope and evil, and how the Gods came into place. Artifacts like fossils may have influenced their beliefs about Titans, Giants, Cyclopes, and the Typhon and so on. This is because in their stories, many creatures are much larger than humans and monster-like. They used many characters and stories to portray landmarks as well. This could have also led to their belief about larger life forms on Earth before humans.

In the far past, uncountable millennia ago, before the gods showed up, there was only Chaos's formless uncertainty under the constant shadow of darkness.
