Acerca de esta escucha

As you study the African myths, legends, and folklore through this guide, you will find that there are so many gods and goddesses, and so many different versions of certain stories, that it will blow your mind. The intricate myths in this book have been lined up and collected to help you understand some of the earliest, most ancient beliefs from those living on the African continent. Some have been influential in our day, and some have been completely forgotten except for vague traditions that have been passed on from one generation to the next.

Hear about the creation of the universe, plants, animals, and finally, the woman first and the man second (how ironic). You’ll find out what significance a tortoise made in one particular African myth, why and how the sex goddess was worshipped and feared, which historical and cultural facts helped the Africans believe in these things, and how some of these customs have been introduced in our modern-day culture.Begin today and find out more about these fascinating facts and myths!

Lo que los oyentes dicen sobre Mythology: African Myths, Gods, Heroes, and Legends

Con calificación alta para:

The Audiobook Provides An Overview Of African Mythology And Cultural Beliefs, Including Some Creation Stories And References To Various Deities And Spirits. However, Many Reviewers Felt That It Lacked Depth In Exploring The Actual Myths And Stories In Detail. The Narration Was Described As Dry And Monotonous, And The Writing Style Was Inconsistent Across Chapters. A Significant Portion Of The Content Focused On Historical Context, Such As The Spread Of Religions And The Impact Of European Colonization, Rather Than Delving Into The Mythological Tales Themselves. While Some Found The Information Relevant, Others Were Disappointed By The Lack Of Immersive Storytelling And The Cursory Treatment Of The Rich African Mythological Traditions.

A lot can be said

A lot can be said about African mythology. This guide does an amazing job summing it all up. Maybe there were more stories out there 2,000 years ago. I actually don't doubt that. But hey, this fraction of the belief system is a giant piece of pulling back the veil of ignorance for all these people in the western world who don't know diddly squat about Africa. Good job.

Lost Treasures

Thank you for this work because there is so much African history that has been destroyed and/or JUST NOT TOLD do to racist ideology! As a black man in America, I would love MORE works like this because personally I have a lot of catching up to do with regards to my history!

Interesting Stories

I had hoped to hear more of the stories in full, but appreciate having several to look up for further reading.

I can certainly see how elements from various creation stories fed into Genesis and remain part of a collective understanding of human origin and history.

A dictionary

It is like a dictionary with a few stories that doesn't switch the feeling of being read a list.

Its alright

This book is informative but could have been a bit more thorough. Also it is literally and I mean literally a word for word reading of various wikipedia pages. And no this text is not the reference for the wiki pages.

Overview of African Myths

It’s a combination of history and myths. Wanted the myths to sound more like a story than a person summarizing the story. At least that how it sounded to me
