THE "UNDER" WORLD (UNDERWORLD)

The Underworld or "Under" World Is A Place Name for Ancient West Africa
The Underworld is a common place known to many cultures known from their ancient history. Usually these myths refer to Western Africa as the source of the myth and that does turn out to be case!
These "Underworld Myths" are based on actual ancient human history and the "Myth" was a story telling device used to inform the masses of their ancient history or sometimes their recent history in a rememberable way.
Much of Myth is truly Human History sometimes personified, sometimes fictitious, but the "setting " of the underworld is a place where much history truly occurred including the Trogon War the Exodus and the Ragn Bos Auroch resulting in Narmer's Forces retreating to Upper AEgypt in 3200 BCE - 3100 BCE also called the Boser Blick War, The War Against the Evil Eye.
As details of ancient life became murky the actual human history of the Underworld became murky and muddied as well.
This murky muddied nature of West African Underworld can be tracked to a Mega Tsunami event about 1147 BCE that led to a mass evacuation of the Underworld leading to the arrival of Sea Peoples in the Mediterranean Sea and the onset of the Bronze Age Collapse.
The Underworld was the underside of ancient maps. Ancient maps depicted the West on the bottom as it was thought that the Sun went Under the Earth at Sunset.
