As the mists of time cleared upon the world below, The Great Raz looked down and was pleased with what he saw. Many great oceans had been formed and the land masses had raised and produced much good forrests and tundra and plains of grass.
Rivers were flowing and the pheasants and buffaloes were in place.
Out of the distance came the rumbling of thunder and the nomadic herds of the deserts gathered together to have their first pow-wow. The apparent leader of them made many gestures and pointed in many directions, suddenly another stronger meaner nomad stood up and made more grunting and pointing, with much waving of his arms.
Then without warning the two were locked in battle and the dust flew as they rolled across the desert floor. The remaining nomads all watched waiting, puzzled by all this activity. Never before had this occurred, they were a peaceful calm group of men and women. But this fraccas was changing things.
The two battling giants suddenly stopped moving and the Stronger meaner of the two stood , succesful, he grinned and pointed to the now motionless figure on the ground, he made more grunts and pointed again. He set off in the direction he had pointed and the nomads al lfollowed him.
Later that evening a strong wind blew across the desert and as the dust began to settle on the stiff corpse, a bright light emerged. With first what seemed like just a movment of the shadows , but then with more apparent realism, the corpse began to move. First stretching the fingers and then the arms , finally the legs moved and the corpse rolled over and stood up, no longer a corpse but a living being again.
The Great Raz looked down and smiled, "yes this one will do he said"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time passed and the wandering nomads again and again split till there were 7 distinct bands and they continued to disperse from one another spreading in all directions. Some came to mighty oceans and there they formed humble but able canoes and set forth. Many lives were lsot making these crossings. Others found more deserts but still others found fertile lands and the nomads slowly settled into the regons they were in.
Much time passed and due to lack of true speech or any form of writing, the past was soon forgotten and each tribe beleived themselves to be the only living soles in the world. The World to these tribes was just what they could see in their own backyard, no more no less. No other existence was needed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the desert the Great Raz himself descended and touched the now revived man. He annointed him to be his servant to be the instrument of his will. This man would one day fulfill the goals and plans of the Great Raz. The Great Raz made shelter for the man and used his will to call forth a female of the species for his chosen one. He annointed them both and then left in a dust cloud.
He smiled to himself as he looked down, "yes" he thought, " My plans are now begun, once again!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As time passed the newly annointed ones did multipy and grow and became nomads thmesleves. Their homelands were the deserts of old. Long ago abandoned by the other nomads, so long ago that the other nomads had completly forgotton this area. But all that was about to change. For now was officially the beginning of time as we know it, Now was the beginning of The HISTORY of the WORLD................................
