Adam and Eve VS Fuxi and Nuwa(Yeowa)

About 12,000 years ago, Earth experienced massive flooding. The ice melted, flooding continued, and people climbed high mountains to escape the swamps. This flood story, familiar in national myths and the Bible, is believed to have happened after recent research by archaeologists has found evidence. In particular, geological evidence remains near the Pamir Plateau in Central Asia, the present-day Xinjiang Uyghur region, where glaciers melted and water overflowed.

In flood myths, the ones who created humans are called Yahwe in Judaism and Yeowa in Korea. The names are similar.

They most likely rescued people from low-lying areas from flooding. Those struggling in the swamp must have been covered with mud and reeds all over their bodies. They saved people by breathing, which is why the expression "created people by blowing their breath" is used. Isn't this how Adam and Eve were created? Dr. Kim Jung-min made this argument in his book, The Shaman Bible.

Fuxi 太皞伏羲 (about 2,852~2,737 B.C) and Nuwa, known as the ancestors of Koreans, were brothers and a couple. We have to think that in the past, inbreeding was common among royals. King Fuxi interpreted Cheonbugyeong 天符經(The Spell of heavenly God's blessing Aurora), humanity's first-ever scripture from 9,000 years ago, and he made 하도河圖, the five elements of co-prosperity, and 낙서洛書, the five elements of the world, for anyone to read. 

Fuxi and Nuwa icons from the Uighur region of Xinjiang, currently in the National Museum of Korea's collection, show that the two are serpentine. Their lower bodies are twisted like a snake, and their bodies are separated. They each have a square and a compass in one hand. According to legend, those with right angles continued to move east to reach the Korean Peninsula, while those with compasses continued to move west to Europe. However, traces of these imperial powers now remain relics on the Korean Peninsula. The legend is likely to be true sometimes.
