A parallel story of creation among the Akan, the Hopi and the Maori
Other references:
- The Akan section 5.11, 7.4
In the original Akan book, I gave an Akan account of the creation of
human beings. I stumbled upon a very similar account of the same story
among the Maori people of Polynesia. I shall now quote a short version
of the Akan creation story (from section 5.11 of the Akan book), the
original story itself having been taken from Rattray's book Ashanti:
"Very long ago one man
and one woman came down from the sky and one man and one woman came
from the Earth. From the Sky God (Onyame), also came a Python (Onini),
and it made its home in the river now called Bosommuru. At first these
men and women did not bear children, they had no desire, and conception
and birth were not known at that time. One day the python asked them if
they had no offspring, and on being told they had not, he said he would
cause the woman to conceive. He bade the couples stand face to face,
then he plunged into the river, and rising up, sprayed water upon their
bellies with the words kus, kus, and then ordered them to return home
and lie together.”"
The Maori version of the creation story comes from a book written by Sir George Grey in 1854. The title of the book is Polynesian Mythology & Ancient Traditional History of the New Zealanders, As furnished by their Priests and Chiefs. The creation accounts are the very first few lines of the very first chapter, "Children of Heaven and Earth":
"Men had but one pair
of primitive ancestors; they sprang from the vast heaven that exists
above us, and from the earth which lies beneath us. According to the
traditions of our race, Rangi and Papa, or Heaven and Earth, were the
source from which, in the beginning, all things originated"
This is a very similar account to that of the Akan in the sense that it
points to the mixing of Ancient Earth humans with ETs from space to
create the current human population. There are some differences though:
it appears the Akan version is more detailed and also points to the ET
involvement, when one considers that the Python mentioned in the Akan
version refers to the Sirian-Reptilian scientists who steered the
genetic engineering project.
Among the Akan there is a tradition (especially among the Asante)
claiming that they came out of a hole in the ground. It is such common
knowledge that even little children know about it. There is also a
parallel tradition that says that the Akan-Asante people came from
'soro' or Heaven.
Although these two parallel traditions of the Akan seem to contradict
each other (and have baffled Anthropologists) these seemingly
paradoxical traditions are not paradoxical because both traditions are
true. The traditions make sense when looked at from another
perspective. That perspective is one that has already been delved into
in section 7.4 of the Akan book. There were two groups of humans that
came together to form the human beings of today. One group was native
to Earth, the other group was not native to Earth. The first group
native to Earth consisted of remnants of the Ancient Earth humans, the
second group of humans were prediminantly Extraterrestrials from space.
In the case of the Akan, the Ancient Earth human was mixed with
Sirian-Reptilian and Homo Erectus DNA (section 7.4 of the Akan book). I
suspect that this is also the case for the Maori, or at least similar.
They must have been mixed with Sirian and/or Pleiadian DNA since the
Pleiades holds an important place in their calendar. For other humans
on Earth today the combinations may be different.
There are other Native Earth humans who have traditions of having 'come
from a hole in the ground'. Anthropologists who have so far only
understood these statements in a symbolic manner have failed to realize
the literal nature that underlies these traditions. These Native groups
came from the ground. Those Native human groups with this tradition are
linked to the 'genderized Ancient Humans' (section 7.4 of the Akan
book) some of whom still live in the inner Earth today.
Below is a Hopi Indian version of the creation accounts outlined above.
The Hopi version comes from Robert Morning Sky in an article he wrote
entitled Star Warriors – The Hopi and the Greys
which can be found on the RMS archive section of this website. Under
the heading 'Secrets of the American Indian – Hopi legend of
Creation' he has this to say:
- The Hopi Indian Legend of Creation tells of three different beginnings.
· One story says that we have arisen from an underground paradise through an opening called Sipapu.
· The second story tells of the descendancy from our birthplace near a Blue Star [i.e. the Pleiades].
· And the third story relates of a migration from a faraway place across a great body of water.
All three are true.
What matters is not which came first, but that they are all true.
(Focus not on the leaf, rather look at the whole tree).
The point here is that those Native people who have this tradition have
a memory of the Ancient Earth humans and of the genetic experiments that were carried out on this planet. I know that some
Native American/Indian groups also have traditions of having come from
the ground (the Crow definitely have such a tradition and perhaps the
Navajo/Apache as well).
