the Humans:

-          lived on the Moon

-          carried by a spirit cloud to the Earth (Forrest of First Things)

-          meet “the Others” – get help/knowledege (plants animals)

-          live in harmony

Wild Men from other Side of the World killed them (bearded ones) with thunder and lighting sticks

Humans and Others split – travel westwards – wild men follow

Discover “Flat World” – “Land In The Sky” – “Land of Little Water” (wild men refused to live there)
