Before earth, sea, and heaven were created there was Chaos, which was a confused and shapeless mass. Everything was mixed up. Air was not air, earth was not earth, and sea was not sea.

A God who is unknown then made the terrain of earth by appointing rivers and raising mountains along with distributing fertile fields and stony plains.
