Edit reason: - It was a sprawling mess. Japan went here, China there, Korean here, Egypt in the air, meanwhile all of Africa is under one bullet-point, all of America is under one bullet-point, error 404 Melanasia, and there is one huge Indo-European list, and one could not tell whether the region was EMEIA or not (like for the Wicca, Nart Sagas, Mountain Folklore, and Nautical Folklore). -  Wanted Siberian Mythology to be part of the American group. Didn't make sense sense that both America and Africa was under a locational umbrella (that was seriously fucking up the formatting) but EMIEA and ACAP wasnt. - Divided by language families because dividing in terms of of location (Sucj as EMEIA: Europe, N Africa, West Asia, S Asia and ME) was headache-inducing. Wasn't sure whether dividing Africa by language families was a good idea or not.

Divine A mythology is the entirety of all the [=myths=], {{legend}}s, and traditional beliefs of a specific culture, people, or region. The term can also mean "the study of myths," but in colloquial usage and around this wiki, expect the former meaning. Though these are often thought of as "dead" genres that only contain ancient works, most religions and cultures have mythology, and mythological stories continue to be created and reinterpreted all the time in living religions.
