lantairvleaIn the beginning there was an egg and nothing else. The egg was the universe but there were no heavens and no earth, just darkness. From the darkness, the first creature was born. His name was Pangu and he slept in the darkness for many thousands of years.
Over these year he grew and grew until eventually he was a giant and was so big that he awoke and broke the egg. All of the light parts flew up and became the sky and all of the heavy parts sank and became the earth. Pangu was frightened that they would connect so he pushed them apart.
Once he had finished he was so weak that he began to die. As he died his body began to change and his breath became the wind and clouds and his voice the thunder. His eyes became the sun and moonand his limbs the mountains and valleys. His blood formed the rivers and seas and his hair became the plants and trees. His bones changed to become rocks and his sweat became the rain and dew. The parasites on his body became all the animals and humans.
According to the ancient Chinese we are the parasites of Pangu.
