I will analyse this myth tomorrow but please read it ahead of time

Pangu and the Creation of the World

This myth is similar to many creation myths worldwide, in which the world is formed out of the body of a primal being.

In the beginning there was darkness everywhere, and Chaos ruled. PanguWithin the darkness there formed an egg, and inside the egg the giant Pangu came into being. For aeons, safely inside the egg, Pangu slept and grew. When he had grown to gigantic size he stretched his huge limbs and in so doing broke the egg. The lighter parts of the egg floated upwards to form the heavens and the denser parts sank downwards, to become the earth. And so was formed earth and sky, Yin and Yang.

Pangu saw what had happened and he was pleased. But he feared that heaven and earth might meld together again, so he placed himself between them, his head holding up the sky and his feet firmly upon the earth. Pangu continued to grow at a rate of ten feet a day for 18,000 years, so increasing the distance between heaven and earth, until they seemed fixed and secure, 30,000 miles apart. Now exhausted, Pangu went back to sleep and never woke up.

Pangu died, and his body went to make the world and all its elements. The wind and clouds were formed from his breath, his voice was thunder and lightning, his eyes became the sun and moon, his arms and his legs became the four directions of the compass and his trunk became the mountains. His flesh turned into the soil and the trees that grow on it, his blood into the rivers that flow and his veins into paths men travel. His body hair became the grass and herbs, and his skin the same, while precious stones and minerals were formed from his bones and teeth. His sweat became the dew and the hair of his head became the stars that trail throughout heaven. As for the parasites on his body, these became the divers races of humankind.

Although Pangu is dead, some say he is still responsible for the weather, which fluctuates according to his moods.

I was checking out the vadas and the Avastan religion of Zoroaster looking for the ideas of Soma. Soma is the body and hydra the blood that make up the soul and psyche of God(s). In Hynda Soma is an embryo and in Avanstan the adult as the embryo of the Hindus grew in the Avastan religion, this is reflective of how each religion compliments Each other as it is built by universal nature and thus consent of the same by all religions. The interpretation of the image of both seperate;ly enrich an image understood only by looking to other ways to open up the understanding of ones own way(s). God(s) made sure to understand ones way(s) one has to include a universal belief in all Good(s) ways.

what does this mean if you think Hercules hydra as idra? (India : Hindia, Indra: Hydra) Was the Hydra hyndu?
