Changes

There is no shortage of creation myths and certainly there are many more that we know little about. Many have common themes of birth, chaos, war, and the establishment of social hierarchy. What these show is that the foundations of life today are explained by these creation myths, even if they are often unclear as to their timeline and see seem to have occurred in a time that one would find unfamiliar. Creation myths, despite their mystery and unfamiliar types of themes to most people, are foundational to many societies, even today, which often teach these stories and recount their importance to a cosmological world view. Common themes tell us that many stories were likely shared among cultures as they migrated and interacted, where traditions and stories often evolved to reflect changes in societyand influences by different societies.
