Consequently, the morals and themes derived from the Eldar mythology will resonate with those they are rooted in. I should make note here that I’m not trying to make a case that 40K origin stories are just carbon copies of old myths, but instead I am saying that the themes of old myths and stories have undoubtedly influenced these works. Many of these stories borrow from each other in many different ways as they have influenced each other across history, and many of their themes have made their way into the creation mythology of 40K. Legends like Marduk in his clash against Tiamat the great dragon of chaos from Mesopotamian myth, the formation of Midgard from the body of a dead giant in Norse mythology, the creation of the world from a great sea at the rising of the sun as depicted in Egyptian mythology, as well as the commonly known account from the Old Testament of the Abrahamic religions. Our history has a wide variety of creation and origin stories. Many cultures have asked questions about the origins of life and the world we occupy.
