In ancient Greek mythology,
it's the Titan Prometheus who, after a great flood,
shares with humans the secret of fire. In the South American Andes, pre-Inca civilizations describe a robed,
bearded figure named Viracocha, who emerged from a great lake and taught the local people
how to create amazing works of masonry that still exist today. Even in the Pacific,
Polynesian legends talk of Maui, who created their islands
by pulling them up from the ocean floor, and then taught the islanders
to work with stone tools and to cook their food
