Mesopotamian legend speaks of Tiamat - the original goddess of creation, later killed by her offspring Marduk, who then forms the heavens and the Earth from her divided body. So the ancient stories conform to this idea of creation as the shattered remains of Tiamat, albeit in allegory of serpents and monsters and gods. Interesting stuff.
