The creation of our own World have been wondering the people from centuries. Although none of the theories proves to be the perfect, there are numerous theories on this in every dialect of the World. All these theories are derived from various bases of Science, Mathematics, Astronomy and Astrology, and some also have religious backgrounds. Few of these theories sounds very crazy to believe, just like a kids fairy tale. Five of these Crazy stories are present below.
1. The Apache Indians
According to the beliefs of the Apache Indians, there was nothing in the beginning, no earth, no sky, no sun, no moon and endless darkness was everywhere. Suddenly, from the darkness, emerged a thin disc, one side yellow and the other side white, appearing suspended in midair with a Man on it, The Creator. After awaking from his nap he looked up and light appeared, he looked down and a sea of light was created, to the east he created the streaks of dawn and to the west the colorful waves of dusk. He also created several clouds of different colours. After all this, he rubbed both the hands together with a downward thrust, a shining cloud upon which sat a little girl. He asked her where she was going and she did not answer. She asked him where he was from and he said from the east. She asked where the earth and sky were. He sang four times, the magic number to the Apache Indians, and flung his hand wide. The God appeared. He dropped hands back and a small boy appeared. All four Gods were now present. They all shook hands, mixed their sweat and then he sung about making the Earth again for four times. After rubbing his hands together, a brown ball appeared. He kicked it and it expanded, so did the girl, the sun God and the boy both played their turns and the ball continued to expand. He instructed Wind to expand the Ball. The Creator had created more Gods to look over things on Earth. He had created workers to help with the building of Earth. Once he work was done, then he disappeared leaving behind the workers to create the World’s population!
2. The Mayans
According to the Mayans, there were two people, Tepeu and Gucumatz. They used to sit around and think about several things and those things would come to existence. They thought of the mountains, the earth, the oceans, the sky and the animals and all the things arrived to real world. They used clay to create people, which would fell apart in the rain, so finally they came up people made of wood. These people may cause trouble so the God created a flood to wipe them out. Tepeu and Gucumatz were allowed to start over. This is how our Earth was created and is present today!
3. The Scandinavians
Scandinavians believe that there were empty open realms which were supposed to be filled. There were two Gods, Muspell and Niflhiem. Muspell led the fiery realm and Niflhiem led the icy realm. They would plat in this vast open space everywhere. The air in the space grew mild enough to melt the ice. With this process, Ymir, an evil God was created. When Ymir slept, two males and a female frost giant came to life from his sweat. Time flew, more ice melted and a Cow was created. This Cow had much of milk to feed Ymir and would lick the ice blocks to nourish herself. After a few days of licking the ice, she revealed a man who had a son. This son married one of the frost giant’s daughters. The couple later had three sons, who killed Ymir. The blood that flowed from Ymir drowned all the frost giants but Berglimir and his wife who created Earth from the flesh & blood of Ymir. While walking along the Earth’s surface Odin, one of the sons of the frost giant, spotted two logs and gave them life, while one of the other brothers gave them brains and feelings and the other gave them hearing and sight. These logs became a woman & a man. And the life was created!
4. The Chinese
Earth and Heaven was a one unit in the beginning as per the Chinese belief. The universe was big black egg & Pan-Gu, the God was sleeping inside it since 18,000 years. After he woke up, he smashed the egg into several parts with a broad axe to come out. Lighter part became Heaven and the heavier ones became Earth. Pan-Gu stood in between with his head touching the heavens and his feet firmly planted on the Earth. All three would grow at a rate of ten feet per day. After next 18,000 years everything stopped growing and Pan-Gu passed away. His breathe became the wind and the clouds. His voice is the thunder and his eyes became the sun and moon. The mountains were formed from his body and limbs and the rivers and oceans are made of his blood. The fertile soil is from his muscles and the roads are his veins. The flowers and trees are from his skin and body hair, where the stars are from his beard and hair. Pearls and jade are made from his marrow and his sweat is the rain and dew.
5. The Australians
It is believed in Australia that the Earth was plain and bare to begin with. There was no light, life or death. The sun, moon, stars and eternal ancestors all slept beneath the Earth. When the ancestors arose, they would walk the earth in human form, animal form, plant form or a combination of the forms. There were two people that formed out of nothing and upon their walks across the Earth’s surface they would come upon some half finished plants, animals and humans. They would then carve heads, bodies and limbs from bundles of plants. This is how people were formed amongst the Earth’s surface. After the work of human creation was finished the ancestors went back to sleep. They either went back under the Earth or they stayed here in the form of plants and animals. They left sacred trails, which can be seen in the forms watering holes, rocks and trees.
