Do you know Spider woman?

--->Image of Hopi Indians

You though there is only a Spider Man? There was a spider woman who is mentioned in the history of native Indians of Arizona. They were called Hopi Indians. They worshiped a God named Taiowa.

This Taiowa created an assistance to him called Sotuknang. He was entrusted the task of creating the Universe and he obeyed his master by creating Topela-the first world.

All these sounds familiar? I believe the Indians will recall lord Vishnu and lord Brhamma in this context. There are mentions of three words thus created and destroyed because of turmoil among men. Only the fourth world exists now. (Kaliyugam?)

Again, I remember the great 'pralayam' in the Hindu mythology.

Now comes the spider woman who was originally called Koyangwuti-a creation of Sotuknang.
