CHIMINIGAGUA

[Other] In the mythology of the Chibcha Indians of Colombia, Chiminigagua was the creator of the world. He held a light inside his being (like the sun), and the first things he made were gigantic blackbirds to carry its rays throughout the world and bring light to all. He sent Bochia to teach mankind how to live. The rest of Creation Chimigagua left to others. Chiminigagua¹s cult wasn¹t very important to the Chibcha because they considered Zuhe and Chia, the sun and moon, more beautiful and therefore more deserving of worship and honor.
