Foreword:
This article mainly talks about The god of creation, Mirchagua created the sun and the moon after creating the heaven and the earth. Mirchagua saw the darkness in the universe, so he asked crows and owls to carry fire in their mouths and give it to the poor people. But Mirchagua found that the fire was too bright and had little effect, so he found two chiefs and asked them to sacrifice their bodies to become the sun and the moon.
After The god of creation Mirchagua created the world, he placed humans on the earth with the help of Bachuae. But at this time, the entire universe was dark. There is no sun, no moon, no stars, no day, no distinction between morning and dusk, no distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter. The colorful colors of various plants and flowers cannot be distinguished, and the various jumping and multi-morphous animals cannot be seen. People were swinging around in the darkness like ghosts.
The god of creation, Mirchagua cared about and pitied these people wandering in the darkness, and sent crows and owls to deliver fire to the people. Crows and owls fly around with tinder in their beaks, distributing tinder wherever there are people. So for the first time, the Indians lit bonfires for warmth, lit torches to light the way, burned wood for cooking, and used fire to cast alchemy, copper, and iron.
However, the fire was too small. It cannot shine farther, cannot give people enough light, and cannot give animals and plants enough light and heat to flourish and grow.
The god Mirchagua created the sun and the moon
The chief of Sogamoso became the sun
The god of creation, Mirchagua is determined to fundamentally change this situation. He summoned the chief of Sogamoso and spoke a few words into his ear. The chief nodded and walked solemnly towards a high mountain. He climbed to the top of the mountain and stood on the top of the mountain, like a giant standing tall in the sky. The chief stared at the empty fields and the deep sky. His body gradually heated up and then radiated a dazzling light. He bent down, held his feet with both hands, and with a strong effort, his round body flew straight into the sky like an arrow. The higher he flew, the redder and hotter his body became. When his body emits the most intense heat and the strongest light, he hangs motionless in the air, like a big red and bright lantern hanging in the sky. The chief’s body became a sun in the sky. At this time, the world was bright. People cheered and jumped to welcome the birth of the sun.
The chief of Lamiriki become the moon
However, when the sun slowly sets and hides, night comes and people return to darkness. So the noble god of creation, Mirchagua summoned the chief of Lamiriki and spoke a few words into his ear. The chief nodded and walked towards the mountain. He climbed up the mountain and stood on the mountain. His body began to glow gradually. He bent down and hugged his legs like the chief of Sogamoso and flew into the sky. However, his light was much weaker, as clear and bright as autumn water. From a distance, it looked like a huge ball of silver-white cheese left in the sky. In this way, the moon appeared in the sky for the first time.
From then on, there was enough light for humans, no matter day or night. The god of creation, Mirchagua was relieved.
