ibuzoo:Myths around the world challenge @thewinedarksea & @ibuzoo Malagasy Mythology | RatovantanyRatovantany, also known as Andriantompo, is a self-creating deity associated with the earth. He is most prominently featured in the Malagasy creation myths, where he makes a deal with the sky god Zanahary to create humanity; having crafted human beings from soil, Ratovantany reclaims the corpse upon death and decomposes it, while the soul belongs to Zanahary and thus the sky or the sun. -- source link
