NATURE
Mythology is defined as a collection of interrelated
stories of a given culture. Myths tend to describe the
creation of the world and give a culture an understanding of
the events of nature and the world around them.
Myths also express the values or beliefs of a culture,
and every culture studied has their own myths distinctive to
their group which usually begin with how the culture
intertwines with nature. For example, ancient Egyptians
tried to understand their place in the universe and their
mythology centered on nature; the earth, sky, moon, sun,
stars, and the Nile River.
Every culture in the history of the world has followed
the same pattern as the Egyptians and many of the tales can
