Write
on
one of the topics
below:
1.
We recently covered in class how myths share some similarities with
science (explaining how/where/what things come from), with history, and
with "social contracts." In your essay, examine how two of the ancient
creation myths (of everything, not of humans) can be seen as "good
science" for the time/place the myth is from.
2. For the Sumerian/Mesopotamian/Hittite (Powell) and Mayan (Leonard
& McClure) creation stories (excluding human creation) discussion
points of similarity or difference that seem significant and, in your
conclusion, detail what this may tell us about their cultures and/or
humanity in general.
