RE: ADSactly History : History Of Southern Nigeria [Part 3] - Bini In The Pre-colonial Era

in #history5 years ago

The creationist story of the Bini tribe is very striking. It has in common with others the sending of the son of the eldest God, but it is singularized by that resource of the shell with sand. It is also common in other cosmogonies that everything is covered by the waters; what is attractive in this narrative is how the lands are created by means of the sand poured by Bini on the waters. Knowing this is already satisfying to me. The other part is history, and in it we find what is reiterated in other cultures or primitive societies: the division into social strata, the hierarchy, and so on.
Thanks for your post, @samminator.

Thanks a lot buddy.
Yeah, some of these creationist stories are somewhat related, with the focal point being "the world was created by a supreme being". Even though it does not cover scientific disciplines, this oral tradition has been held strongly by many people.
