Some people say that, "A myth is the projection of a culture's soul". This is because creation myths tell us how people think and there are many similarities to be seen. Myths sometimes has some of the same/similar elements.
Myths carry the common elements of love, Gods, the creation of humankind. This is unusual because they are so different from each other.
A common element in many creation myths is love. For example in the Maori myth the sky and the earth held on to each other because they loved each other so much. Also in the Chinese myth where Nuwa created humans and loved them. Therefor it can be said that even though these myths are from different places, and different times there are some kind of connection between them.
In the beginning of many myths, there was Gods. For example the Egyptian creation myth. Another example is the Yoruba myth where there was a council of Gods. This proves that people in other countries with different thinking share the same ideas.
A similar element in many myths is the creation of human kind. In all creation myths somehow we are born, vomited, spat out into the world. In different myths here are different ways we were made.
As we can see many elements in myths started when traders spread myths around and they got known by different people in different times. Some myths die over time, but some myths, some of which has love, Gods, and the creation of man included in, stay on and hopefully will keep on for many generations to come.
