Foundational myths, such as the creation stories of various cultures, explain the origins of the earth. These narratives often reflect the values and beliefs of a society. For example, in many traditions, the world emerges from a primordial chaos, establishing themes of order from chaos. Myths like the Enuma Elish or the Biblical Genesis serve as frameworks that underline how people understand their relationship to the cosmos and their place in it, weaving together cultural identity and the human experience.
