In Issue 34 of the Baba Indaba Children's Stories, Baba Indaba narrates the Maya version of the creation story which starts with the Mayan high god Hurakan, the mighty wind, who passed over the universe which was still wrapped in gloom. He called out ""Earth"", and the solid land appeared thus starting the creation of the world. Download and read a story which is remarkable for it's similarity to the creation story of the bible even though it was recorded and was being told hundreds of years before the Christian and Mayan cultures had met.
Each issue also has a ""WHERE IN THE WORLD - LOOK IT UP"" section, where young readers are challenged to look up a place on a map somewhere in the world. The place, town or city is relevant to the story.
