    There are hundreds of motifs scattered throughout the world about many vastly different creation myths. There are some myths linked with only a few motifs, and they originated from the same continent. Then there are also myths which originated from the other side of the world and share so many motifs one would think they were just a hundred miles away. With so many different motifs, it remains unclear and unproven as to how so many different cultures can share the same theory about how Earth and humans were created. Although there are so many fascinating motifs about the creation of the world and everything on it, I believe these three are the most common motifs shared by creation myths: nothingness (chaos) in the beginning of time, humans

  • Atrahasis And Joseph's Death In The Book Of Genesis

    332 Words  | 2 Pages

    Although scientists may never figure out and agree to exactly when the earth and its inhabitants were created, the time from Abraham to Joseph’s death in Genesis 50:26 may be associated with the Middle Bronze Age (1500 to 1200 BC) or Iron Age (1200 to 1000 BC). Much of the setting of Genesis was within the Fertile Crescent, the land of Canaan, and ended in Egypt. During this period in the ancient Near East, many works of literature were produced in nearby nations with stories similar to deities creating the world and later causing a flood because the people were “bad” (most notably Atrahasis and the Gilgamesh Epic). As such texts were written well before the book of Genesis, it is fascinating how Genesis was penned in a pagan manner, in seeing
