t the very beginning, when the world came to be - what was, what happened? About this, people of the past have wondered, marveled, just as much as we do today. And just like we have done with the theory of the big bang, they came up with their own versions.
     Today, we call these versions myths, by which a number of things are stated - maybe rightly, maybe not. Perhaps one day the big bang theory will also be classified as a myth? Whatever the case, these so called myths reveal the cosmological speculations of our distant ancestors.


Fiat - let there be
     I am intrigued by the thinking behind those myths, especially the myths regarding the beginning of all - the creation, the primary events of the world. There are patterns to be revealed, both in the processes of thought leading to their invention, and in the plots and stories making out those myths. Intriguing patterns, telling us a lot about how the human mind works - through time, across any cultural borders.
     Formally, I do this research at the institution of the History of Ideas and Learning, Lund University, on my way toward a PhD. We will see about the PhD, but the myths and their colorful sceneries of primary events are nevertheless rewarding.
