anyone else notice from watching all these videos in there bed how and is it's very fascinating how the mythology of the Zuni people is similar to the mythology of the Dahomey people of west Africa and many other civilizations spread so far away on separate continents ( similarities like the feathered serpent and the creator, the twin brothers and thunder, vast emptiness and water, and so much more just to name some off the top of my head. makes you wonder how can people so far away with separate cultures and practices explain these things in an identical way.

Mike Rugnetta, Can you guys do one about Arthurian Mythos, King Arthur, the Grail Knights and the quest, as well as exploring the myth around Merlin> The cave, or 'crannog' that he supposedly lived in reminded me of this episode about caves. Merlin's cave had a totally different mythological meaning than any mentioned in this episode, and I was hoping you might mention Celtic myth and the meaningfulness of caves in their Pantheon. But yeah, you guys neglected Celtic mythology in all of this, and there is a TON of it to discuss.

There is also a version where the person who escapes is so weirded out by the actual reality, that he goes back in the cave because he would rather live the lie he is comfortable with, than accept the reality he is shocked of. Relating to the ignorance of people towards philosophy

God's plan all along was to have Adam and Eve leave their perfect garden. They have to disobey in order to learn for themselves. Its like kicking kids out of the house once they grow into adults. Its not fun, but you have to grow and learn for yourself

If you think of the earth as a place of punishment, then you don't care for it, and you keep destroying it.
If you think of it as a reward, then you look out for it, you respect it.
Enough of a difference to me.

The cave creation myth described here makes me think of the Hyoomans from Adventure Time, who live in underground caves and have gills. I wonder if the writers were inspired by this particular story.

Its interesting the perspectives these cultures have with the garden of eden and the cave and whether they actually see the Earth as punishment or a place of beauty and evolution

The Zuni creation myth is very similar to the Mizo creation myths. many Northeast Indian tribal societies have the same out of the cave creation story.

So the Zuni myth basically says that humans came to be after a repeated process of small changes and selection? That's basically evolution. Huh.
