The birth of the Egyptian universe was marked by the appearance of the sun from water chaos The Sumerian-Akkadian universe was built from the body of the foremother of the gods Tiamat. The Karelo-Finnish mythology universe originated from an egg. Modern scientists are inclined to the theory of the Big Bang ... The end of the world is also seen differently by everyone But religious texts basically claim that after it there will be a renewed world in which the righteous will find eternal bliss. As for scientists, they assume that our universe will sooner or later end its existence. And life on Earth will be destroyed even earlier. The age of our civilization (if we count the mass appearance of people of modern anthropological appearance) does not exceed 40,000 years. And before the Sun begins to change irreversibly, there are more than a billion years left. It is possible to think of something in this time.......................................... What different mythological systems, religions and science say about the emergence of the universe, its structure and its coming end, says the book of two culturologists Olga Kolobova and Valeria Ivanova, working under the common pseudonym Oleg Ivik. The question of what was before, an egg or a chicken, in Karelians and Finns is solved unequivocally in favor of a chicken more precisely, a duck. It was she who laid the egg, from which in an incomprehensible way, without the participation of the creator, the present world turned out.
