ShyOx 05/17/21 7:41:01 AM #34:	Smackems posted... Hell i don't think we have any native American fantasy, or even mythology, based stuff This is more curious as we have the culture Problem is we dont have as much Mayan/Aztec folklore, just some of their religion stuff and myths because the Mayans were already gone and the Aztecs were murdered. Native American folklore is def there, but to be honest my experience has been is that its a bit deeper philosophically, like the Native American creation story. They were more implied substance than !plot like Egyptian myths etc. They didnt have as many big hero types like Jason and the Argonauts, and their gods were things like the Great Turtle rather than Zeus with his banhammer lightning. In the end a lot of it is because they were oral tradition and not written down for a lot of Cultures of the Americas. Mayans didnt write anything down outside of basic hieroglyphics when it came to myths. Seems like the Incas had a pretty strong mythology with a lot of the familiar stuff wed see in Greek/Roman. Also for ancient African just look at Egyptian myths. We got a lot of African folklore too but it was once again a lot of oral tradition, I dont know of any epics like what formed the foundation of Greek myth, where you have this cast coming and going and changing out and referencing itself throughout --- http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6938/vyqp.jpg DIPLOMACY <cite>ShyOx posted [p:953992645] in Where are ...
