Historical Information

In Arabian mythology, the Bahamut was described as a giant fish (said to be so large that no person could see all of it at one time) that floated in an endless ocean. On top of Bahamut was the giant bull Kujata, which in turn had a massive ruby mountain utop its back. On this mountain rested an angel, which above it laid the six hells, which existed underneath the Earth, which in turn existed below the seven heavens of the universe.
