Genesis reversed

"1:1 At the first Miguel made the pebble on the road to Daeri and the black patterns on the Bubaki flower.

1:2 And Daeri was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep; and the Spirit of Miguel was moving on the face of the waters.

1:3 And Miguel said, Let there be Savanna: and there was Savanna.

1:4 And Miguel, looking on the Savanna, saw that it was good: and Miguel made a division between the Savanna and the rest of the world,

1:5 Naming the Savanna, Katamareia, and the rest of the world,... well, naming it The Rest Of The World. And there was Savanna and there was The Rest Of The World, the third or fourth month."

Imagine how stupid it would be if in the Bible God had begun by creating Men and only then remembered about the earth, the heaven, the light, the dark...

Or if in the Greek mythology Iris (i.e. the rainbow) came before Uranus (i.e. the heaven)...

Or if Heron, the Greek, invented the steam machine and thousands of years latter people still used the horse... Wait, that really happened! Damn, I keep ruining my own arguments!

Because I am no God nor I am Ananke (go Google who she is, if you don't know!), and even though I am no Heron (or whomever the king was that refused to use the steam machine - now it is I that need to Google...), that is exactly how I began - for months I have been creating details without first describing the big picture (the Savanna, the cultures in it, the weather...).

Well, I guess my subconscious was building the whole Savanna in my head while I entertained myself with details. Oh, and it really got named Katamareia. Now I am finally starting to layout the foundations which will allow to make it consistent and will also allow artists and composers to do their magic.

I have been listening to a lot of Arabian, Egyptian, Gypsy and Greek music lately, which is helping my creativity a lot (I wonder what kind of music God listened to - since there is no line like "Let there be sound: and there was sound" I assume it already existed) and the Savanna will grow much faster in the upcoming months. Who knows how much will be revealed and when, but this post has lots of hints (look no further than this paragraph, for starters)!

I guess I said too much already (you can all thank me through PM without Jerky ever finding out rolleyes.gif )

PS1: In case you are interested, the first lines are an adaptation of the first lines of Genesis:

1:1 At the first God made the heaven and the earth.

1:2 And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters.

1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

1:4 And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,

1:5 Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

PS2: I hope I don't offend anyone with this Bible talking and I also apologize to any Hellenic Reconstructionists on the audience, in case there is any...

PS3: I guess it seems like I am working for Sony... Anyway, I also hope I am not revealing more than I am supposed to, Jerky

PS4: and since you have been nice enough to read to all my PS's, even read a few lines of the Bible, and have been a good boy/girl and googled Ananke, I am hinting something more about the Savanna. *Looks around to make sure no one is listening* Has anyone ever mentioned there are going to be (not so common) elves in the game? *blink* *blink*
