4. In the beginning there
was absolutely nothing –
just dark, endless matter.
Then a divine spirit, or
“God”, rolled the matter
into a ball to create Earth.
This spirit divided the
earth into five “zones.”
5. The two outer zones were
far too cold for any living
thing to survive in, and the
inner layer was too hot. The
two layers that were left
over, however, consisted of
a perfect balance between
warm and cold.
8. Humans were designed to walk
on two feet so that their gaze
was up towards the
heavens, rather than on the
ground as most other creatures
were. Because the Earth
possessed great qualities, so
did man. Man lived in harmony
for quite some time, not
needing any laws or rules to
abide.
9. Eventually, discoveries
were made, with
humans finding
gold, silver, and
bronze. These elements
were made into
weapons, where battle
began.
10. Man wanted more
land, and it turned
everyone mad. Brother
betrayed brother, alliances
were made then
broken, everything a
catastrophe.
11. This conflict threatened even
the heavens. The
gods, realizing this, had to
stop the conflict. They
decided to just wipe out all
of man and start from
scratch. Jove, decided the
plan was to shower down a
reign of lightning bolt upon
the humans..
12. The other gods agreed this
would be best. Just as Jove
was about to destroy all of
humanity, he found an
easier, more efficient way.
The Earth consisted
mostly of water, so Jove
decided to summon the
waters. He did just
that, wiping out what
seemed to be all of man
13. After the waters
receded, Jove was left
with two people –
Deucalion and Pyhrra.
Jove found no reason to
get rid of these two, as
they were committed
believers and good souls.
14. Deucalion and Pyhrra decided to visit an
oracle, which told them to spread the bones of
their mother. They were disturbed by this, until
Deucalion deciphered the oracle into spreading
rocks of mother earth. They threw and spread the
rocks, and the human race was repopulated; one
human for each rock that hit the ground.
