History in the FF Series

Historical Background

Kujata was a giant bull in Arabic and Medieval Islamic cosmology. It was a giant bull with 4000 eyes, 4000 ears, and 4000 feet which rode atop a giant fish, Bahamut. Kujata was so large, to walk between one eye and another eye would take 500 years. While there are some variations, this is the cosmology seen in Arabic and medieval Islamic belief: In a fathomless sea swims Bahamut. On his back is the bull Kujata. On Kujata's back is a ruby mountain (or giant rock of ruby) which has the Seven Earths on it (seventh is the bottom, first is the top. They represent, from 7th to 1st: the world inhabited by Iblis and other fallen angels, world inhabited by the scorpions of hell, world inhabited by the serpents of hell, world filled with the sulfur of hell, world filled with the stones of hell, world filled with the wind of suffocation, and then the world populated by humans, plants, animals, and genii). On top of the Seven Earths are the Seven Heavens.
