Adaheli was the personification of the sun in the mythology of the Orinoco region of South America. He was troubled by the fact that there were no people on Earth, and so he descended to earth to create them. Shortly thereafter, people first appeared, born from the cayman. All of the original women were quite beautiful. However, some of the men were so ugly that the others found them to be literally intolerable. This led to the separation of the original people, with the ugly men going to the east with their wives and the others going to the west with their wives.[1]
