Скачать или смотреть Before Creation Began: Primordial Beings in World Mythology

Before gods ruled the heavens… before humanity walked the earth… there were primordial beings.

Across every ancient civilization, myth begins not with heroes or deities—but with chaos, darkness, infinite waters, and formless voids. These primordial beings were not gods as we understand them today. They were the raw forces of existence itself.

In this documentary-style video, we explore primordial beings from Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek, Norse, Hindu, Chinese, African, and Indigenous mythologies, uncovering striking similarities that span continents and millennia.
