The last myth from the Tupi people is the one of Aroteh & Tovapod:
At the beginning of time, people lived underground, where they could not find much to eat. One night, a few rose to the surface, coming out from a hole, and stole food from the magicians Aroteh and Tovapod. Those two enlarged the hole, and hordes of men came out. The people were hideous, their feet webbed, their faces ugly with boar rams. Aroteh and Tovapod broke the defenses, reshaped their feet and thus made them look human.
>> So people “lived” underground before coming out to the surface? This is a new detail. Take note anons, as we gather more information of this giant puzzle.
Now I want to move to Warao people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warao_people
“The Warao are an indigenous Amerindian people inhabiting northeastern Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Suriname. Alternate common spellings of Warao are Waroa, Guarauno, Guarao, and Warrau. The term Warao translates as "the boat people," after the Warao's lifelong and intimate connection to the water. Most of the approximately 20,000 Warao inhabit Venezuela's Orinoco Delta region, with smaller numbers in neighboring Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and Suriname. They speak an agglutinative language, Warao.”

Religion
The Warao are, according to their own reports, descended from an adventurous heavenly figure — the primordial hunter. This man originally dwelt in a sky world which had men, but was completely devoid of all animals except birds. Hunting these heavenly birds, the founding man used his bow and arrow to strike a bird in mid-air. The bird fell from the sky and eventually hit the heavenly floor. The birds burst through the floor and proceeded through the clouds and towards terrestrial land (Earth) below. The hunter went to the hole in the floor made by the bird and looked through. He saw lush and fertile land (Earth) and resolved to descend to it to partake of its pleasures: beauty, abundant game, fruit, et cetera. The hunter took a long rope of heavenly cotton, tied it to a tree, and threw it through the hole and lowered himself through the clouds to what is now Earth, forsaking his sky world.
The Warao have shamans, who perform music such as rain dances and songs.”
>> This view we have of the Warao religion and myth is reported by the Main Stream History.
“First contact with Europeans
The Warao of eastern Venezuela's Orinoco first had contact with Europeans when, soon after Christopher Columbus reached the Orinoco river delta, Alonso de Ojeda decided to navigate the river upstream. There, in the delta, Ojeda saw the distinctively stilted Warao huts, balanced over the water. Similar architecture in Sinamaica far to the west had been likened to Venice, with its famous canals below and buildings above; this new encounter propagated the name of Venezuela ("little Venice") for the whole land.”
