The arrival of death


The arrival of death is a story that belongs to aboriginal legends. Tramamodifies wikitesto

This legend tells us that the God of heaven Baiame created the first man in Australia and called him Ber-rook-boorn, to whom he gave a wife. He then imposed a sacred sign on a large eucalyptus tree (yarran) growing near a hive. Baiame imposed the ban on humans to touch the sacred tree, bees and their honey. And for a time the first man and the first land-based woman respected the deliveries. But the day came when the woman, near the tree, could not resist the temptation to get wood and to taste honey. But by doing so he liberated Narahdarn, the guardian bat of the tree, which from that day became the symbol of death that struck all the descendants of the first man. And this event put an end to the Aboriginal age of gold. Notemodify wikitesto Bibliografiamodifica wikitesto Voices correlateemodify wikitesto
