Native American Post

While reading these myths about Native Americans, I found myself comparing them to other myths that I have read. More specifically, The World On Turtle's Back. I couldn't help but compare it to so many other things that I have seen. First of all, in the sky there is a man and a women with a sacred tree in which they should not touch. Yet they do and the woman is ounished for it because she falls. In the Bible, Adam and Eve are forbidden to eat from a tree and when they do so they are banished from the Garden of Eden. Also, the daughter becomes pregnant mysteriously. Wasn't Jesus also conceived in a mysterious way? Third of all, the children that the woman bears are twins and they shape the Earth. In Roman mythology, the two founders were twins as well. In both stories the twins loathe eachother after a while and one kills the other. In just one story, how is it that several other religions fall right into place with this story? It has me questioning how these came to be in such different sections of the world.
