    I prefer the mythology where the earth is on the back of a turtle, which is standing on a larger turtle, which is standing on a larger turtle. It’s nothing but turtles all the way down.

    @cabalonrye: Nope. Pratchett said that he got the idea from elsewhere (an “Indo-European sophistication”). If you search for “In Indian Myth Our World is Supported by Four Elephants Standing on the Back of a Giant Turtle” you can find a old poster that’s for sale that’s supposedly much older than the Discworld books.

    Don’t tell the animal rights activists about that. They have a cow over two iPads on a tortoise’s back.

    I do wonder how the idea began.

    After some marathon Discworld reading, I tried Stephen Hawking’s “Brief History of Time” as a change of pace. Of course that book had to start out with a world balanced on the back of a turtle too!

    In any case, poor Verne’s got the world on his back.
