People of this time needed an explanation for how the earth came to be, or how they even existed. This myth also explains why humans die, as humans that mourn their family might get an  answer for why their family members would die.]]> 2019-01-17 13:26:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321656189 253022 https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321656219 Pan-gu was a dragon that was born from opposites(yin and yang, dark and light, etc.)
Pan-gu is the mythical creature that created the Earth, Nuwa the a half-dragon goddess that created humans.
This is a myth because there are 2 different mythical creatures and it tells how the earth was created.]]> 2019-01-17 13:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321656219 251444 https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321656240 The Chinese Creation Myth contains all the characteristics of a myth: Gods using their powers, or in this case a dragon, the interactions of gods and humans, as in Nu-Wa and the creation of humans.]]> 2019-01-17 13:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321656240 253652 https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321656881 I think the reason this story is a myth is because it's quite unrealistic. It also is different from other myths in this way because it's extremely unrealistic. It's also a myth because it has the normal "creation" things that most other myths have.]]> 2019-01-17 13:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321656881 250951 https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321656989 This myth is very unrealistic and magical. For example someone just created himself using his thoughts. Also he gave birth by spitting out his son and barfing up his daughter. He also had one all seeing eye]]> 2019-01-17 13:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321656989 https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321657008 the myth includes howthe moonandstars came to be,andit explains how humans were created

This is part of a myth because this isn't realistic at all.

Niflheim was cold and icy with no chance of life growing. Because Musspelheim was hot most of Niflheim was melted and out of all the things a cow licks the salt and a giant drinks the cow's salty milk. What confuses me is the cow licking salt because why can't it be some other animal. ]]> 2019-01-17 13:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321657507 https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321657758 The myth made non living things alive.

Even though they weren't officially gods, they were still considered so, because the sun created the stars, planets, and the moon, and together the sun and the moon created human life out of mountain rock. ]]> 2019-01-17 13:33:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jgiamundo1/t43kt43ummfn/wish/321659176
