Throughout life, there have been many periods when men were superior to women. This fact that men are better or more superior to women is no longer as present in our lives. Many creation myths show this aspect through their stories. The creation myths of the Kono, Cherokee, Ethiopian, Iroquois, and Navajo tribes identify a key human trait and all have examples of a man's dominance over a woman, signifying the human quality of superiority over inferiority. the Kono people of Guinea tell the story of how the earth was created and where the origin of death began. At the beginning of time, there was no light, no plants, no animals. Life was very boring and there were no colors. Without light, life could not survive and people could not work or live their lives. Originally the only people were Death, also known as Sa, his wife and their daughter who lived in a sea of ​​mud created by Sa with his magical powers. They lived in a horrible, messy, dirty world that they considered home. Fortunately, Alatangana visited them and realized that they could no longer live in this dirt, so he turned the mud into solid earth and created plants and animals to populate this world he now had created. Eventually, Altanagana and Sa created the Earth. Altanagana was happy with the gift of Earth that Sa had given him. Sa wanted Altanagana to pay his debt to him by giving him one of his descendants when Sa, also known as Death, demanded it. This is where the concept of death was born.
