All myths have a common element whether it is fire, creation, power etc. These common themes or elements are what keeps myths intresting. Strangely enough, countries or regions that did'nt know the other exist thought the same way. For example, in the Chinese story Phan Ku, the myth began with Chaos as did the Inuit creation myth started. Another example is the Inuit and Maori myth, both share the element of perfection. There are countless elements such as oneness, religion, death, good versus evil and more. Some myths might be different from another but the main idea is the same. Myths come from curiosity. What made the world? Who or What made us? What's the reason for...? Those are usually the answers asked by man. Myths are not just stories by man's imagination, they are capable of showing how the people from the area thought. There are millions of myths, question is, which one is closest to reality.
