African Creation Story
by unknown
In the Bakuba account, the Earth
was originally nothing but water and
darkness, ruled by the giant Mbombo.
This giant, after feeling an intense pain
in his stomach one day, vomited up
the sun, moon, and stars. The heat
and light from the sun evaporated the
water covering Earth, creating clouds,
and after time, the dry hills emerged
from the water. Mbombo vomited
once more. Many things were
contained in this second vomiting—
people (the first man and the first
woman), animals, trees, the falling
star, the firmament, and lighting.
