Western traditional myths

Legend 1: Nuwa is crouching, with a snake's head, shoveling earth for people and practicing five-color stones to make up the sky. Nu Wa is the matriarch who unified the tribes after Fu. Later, he managed floods and advocated successful reproduction, so he was regarded as the mother of man-made and the god of mending the sky by myth.

Legend 2: Pangu created the world. Heaven and earth are chaotic, and Pangu is in it. Later, the sky grew ten feet higher, the earth grew ten feet higher, and Pangu grew ten feet. In the long run, Pangu grew taller and taller, until he was dying, his left eye turned into the sun, his right eye into the moon, blood into rivers, muscles into fields, hair into stars, fur into vegetation, lice and insects into people.

Western legends:

Orthodox religion believes that God created man. The first man was Adam, and his wife Eve was made of his ribs. People after that are all their descendants.

Greek and Roman mythology holds that:

With polytheism, the gods hid the seeds that could breed advanced intelligent creatures underground. Mr. Prometheus grinds the soil into the shape of a god and implants the good and evil of animals into people's bodies. This is half a soul. As a result, Athena was shocked when she saw it, and she blew the breath of God into it, and the human soul was all gone.
