012 HEIMDALL THE ORIGINATOR OF CULTURE


The descendants of Ask and Embla led a dreary, culture-less life.

But one day a boat drifted towards their shores, and in the boat a little boy slept, lying on a sheaf of corn, surrounded by all
manner of treasures and tools.

The boy was none other than Heimdall, sent by the Gods.

wisdom, taught them workmanship and handicraft, organized their
society, and originated and stabilized the three classes of men.
