Foundation of the World? The Legend of Bahamut -Summer of Sea Monsters (Episode #47)

Mysterious Pals

The Arabian Bahamut is a mythological creature of immense size and power, rooted in ancient Arabian folklore and later integrated into Islamic mythology. Bahamut is depicted as an enormous fish, supporting a vast structure that represents the Earth's foundation. Some descriptions suggest that if a person were to gaze upon Bahamut, they would see nothing but a boundless expanse of water or sea. In other accounts, Bahamut is so vast that its mere presence is incomprehensible to human beings.
