The Serer creation myth is the traditional creation mythology ^[1]of the Serer people of Senegal, the Gambia and Mauritania. Many Serers who adhere to the tenets of Serer religion believe these narratives to be prehistorical and sacred, which contains profound truths. Some aspects of Serer religious and Ndut classical teachings are included in the narratives contained herein but are not limited to them.
The Serer people have many gods, goddesses^[2] and Pangool (the Serer saints and ancestral spirits represented by snakes),^[3] but one supreme deity and creator called Roog (var : Rog). Roog is synonymous to the deity Koox (or Kooh), the name the Cangin refer to the supreme being.^[4]Serer creation myth developed from Serer oral traditions, Serer religion, legends, cosmogonies^[5][6] and Serer symbols^[7], which only the initiated can decipher.^[7][8] The specifics of the myth are also found in two main Serer sources : A nax and A leep. The former is a short narrative for a short myth or proverbial expression, whilst the later is for a more developed myth.^[9] Broadly, they are equivalent to verbs and logos respectively, especially when communicating fundamental religious education such as the supreme being and the creation of the Universe. In addition to being fixed-Serer sources, they set the structure of the myth.^[9]The creation myth of the Serer people is intricately linked to the first trees created on Planet Earth by Roog. Earth's formation began with a swamp. The Earth was not formed until long after the creation of the first three worlds : the waters of the underworld; the air which included the higher world (i.e. the sun, the moon and the stars) and earth. Roog is the creator and fashioner of the Universe and everything in it. The creation is based on a mythical cosmic egg and the principles of chaos.^[6][10]

 A leep details the scene of the primordial time in the following terms :

"A leep à joon maaga

a roxondox o maaga,

a gad'wa roog,

a saay'a lang ke."^[30]

Which translates to :

The Words leap into space,

He carried the sea on his head,

the firmament on his shoulders,

the earth in his hands.^[30]

The mythical words established the three worlds (water, air and earth) based on the prologue of the Serer genesis provided by A nax.^[27] In A leep, it gives the order in which they were created and elaborated on it. A leep posits that, with the words of Roog, the three worlds (the Universe) began to take shape. The first to be created was the deep sea waters (waters of the underworld); the second was air including the high heavens (Kuul na, in Serer) such as the sun, themoon and the stars; and third was earth. However, the Earth was not one of the first primordial worlds to be formed. It will take a long time before the waters and the Earth were separated.^[31]

First human couple

Before humans existed, there were three stages in the creation of the Universe and each of these steps followed a consistent order.^[57] The first phase was the first three elements : air, earth and water. The myhical words of Roog (orKooh) found in A nax, led to the formation of the heavens, earth and the sea. The second phase of the creation was the primordial trees (i.e. Somb, Nqaul, Nquƭ, etc.,). The third phase was the creation of the animal world : the jackal and"Mbocor" (which means : "The Mother"^[57]) - mother of all animals except the jackal.^[57] In each of these phases, and before the creation of the first human couple, the supreme deity did not directly create each species, but only theprimogenitors who then went on to populate the world with all the species of plant and animal life.^[57] The same was the case at the creation of the first humans.^[57] By thought, the supreme deity planned for the creation of human beings (a female and a male).^[57] By words, Roog went through a gestation phase which signalled the gestation of man and woman, paired within the divine placenta.^[57] Through its maternal nature, Roog projected a female and male human being as in childbirth.^[57] The first human was a female, named YAAB.^[76] The second human was a male named YOP (var : YOB).^[76]

YAAB and YOP were the first humans that walked the Earth according to the narrative. The ancient and sacred village of Yaabo-Yabo (var : Yaboyabo or YABO-YABO, in present-day Senegal) also derives its name from this couple.^[

Central Africa- Kuba

Kuba Creation Myth 

Wiki Info 

Mbombo, also called Bumba, is the creator god in the religion and mythology of the Kuba of Central Africa. In the Mbombo creation myth, Mbombo was a giant covered with white skin who had the form of a man.^[1]The story of Mbombo's creation tells that in the beginning, Mbombo was alone, and darkness and water covered the all earth. It would happen that Mbombo came to feel an intense pain in his stomach, and then Mbombo vomited the sun, the moon, and stars. The heat and light from the sun evaporated the water covering the earth, creating clouds, and after time, the dry hills emerged from the water. Then Mbombo vomited once more, bringing forth nine animals: the leopard, called Koy Bumba; the eagle, Ponga Bumba; the crocodile, Ganda Bumba; the fish, Yo Bumba; the tortoise, Kono Bumba; a black leopard-like animal, Tsetse Bumba; a white heron, Nyanyi Bumba; a scarab; and a goat named Budi. Mbombo also vomited many men, one of them all white like himself who is called Loko Yima.^[1][2]These nine animals went on to create all the world's creatures. The heron created all flying birds but one, the kite, and the crocodile created snakes and the iguana. The goat, Budi, brought forth all the horned animals, the scarab all insects, and Yo Bumba, all fish.^[2]Three of Mbombo's sons then said they would finish creating the world. The first to try, Nyonye Ngana, vomited white ants, but died after.^[1] To honor him, the ants went deep in the earth for dark soil to bury him and transformed the barren sands at the earth's surface. The second, Chonganda, created the first plant, which in turn gave rise to all trees, grasses and flowers. And Chedi Bumba, the third son, made the last bird, the kite.^[2]Tsetse Bumba caused trouble on the earth so Mbombo chased him into the sky where he became the thunderbolt. This left people without fire, so Mbombo showed them how to make it from trees. Once the creation was complete and peaceful, Mbombo delivered it to mankind and retreated into the heavens, leaving Loko Yima to serve as "god upon the earth".^[1][2] The woman of the waters, Nchienge, lived in the East, and her son, Woto, became the first king of the Kuba.^[3]
