The Hero's Journey and the Monomyth: Crash Course World Mythology #25

In Crash Course Mythology #2, Mike Rugnetta will be starting in on creation stories. In this episode, he’ll focus on the creation of the universe out of nothing, or Ex Nihlio creation. Basically, a god decides to make a universe out of nothing. He’ll look at the Genesis story (which has nothing to do with Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins), a Mayan creation tale, a Kono story of the beginning, and he’ll even look at the Big Bang.
