Each Central Asian group has its own creation myth, but the theme of the struggle between the creator and the devil-creator provides a consistency to the various myths of the Central Asian peoples. Also consistent is the theme of the earth-diver creation. The archetypal skeleton behind the Central Asian creation myths is evident, for instance, in a wide variety of cultures that include the Turkic, the Tungus, the Buryat, the Mongolian, and other peoples of Siberia and the Caucasus.
