The Ancient Greeks believed that in the beginning, the world was in a state of nothingness which they called Chaos. Suddenly, from light, came Gaia (mother earth) and from her came Uranus (the sky) along with other old gods (called primordials) like Pontus (the primordial god of the oceans).
Polynesian creation Myth:
In Māori mythology the primal couple Rangi and Papa (or Ranginui and Papatūānuku) appear in a creation myth explaining the origin of the world (though there are many different versions). In some South Island dialects, Rangi is called Raki or Rakinui.
