No 2 #AfricanMythology is about the Creation Story of the Oromo people of Ethiopia, they belief in Waqa the Supreme Creator who inhabit the sky and make sure to keep his distance from earth by way of a barrier of stars and moon.
He didn’t believe in punishment, but he did believe in trickery and persuasion. He asked man to compose a coffin for him. When the coffin was complete, he trapped them inside and sent them to the flat earth.
He brought about a fiery rainstorm that lasted for seven years and formed the landscape of the earth.
When the earth was complete, he released man from the coffin unharmed and used his blood to create women.
After a while, 30 children were produced, but the men felt their wives had given birth to far too many. As a result, Waqa took half of them and turned them into animals.
