About this title

Synopsis

📖 Book Description

Myths of Creation – Humanity’s First Answers takes you on a fascinating journey into the dawn of human imagination. Long before science offered explanations of the universe, cultures worldwide sought to answer the timeless question: Where do we come from?

From the Greek Chaos and Gaia, the Hindu cosmic egg, the Norse tale of Ymir, to the Aztec cycles of the Five Suns, this book explores how civilizations envisioned the origins of life, the cosmos, and humanity itself. Through these stories, readers discover not only the diversity of myths but also their striking common themes — chaos transformed into order, life emerging from clay, cycles of creation and destruction, and divine breath bringing humanity to life.

Blending mythology, culture, philosophy, and comparative analysis, this book reveals how myths are more than just stories — they are windows into the hopes, fears, and creativity of our ancestors. It also traces the transition from myth to philosophy and science, showing how humanity’s search for origins continues to this day.

Whether you are a lover of mythology, a student of history, or someone curious about the mysteries of existence, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of humanity’s earliest answers to life’s greatest question.
