James Cameron mentioned that he was inspired "*********" mythology.. any guesses??

James Cameron has cited various influences for Avatar, including science fiction literature and environmental themes. While there are surface similarities to Hindu mythology (particularly the Ramayana's themes of colonialism and the connection between beings and nature), Cameron has primarily cited Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom series and other Western science fiction as direct inspirations. The claimed answer of 'Indian' mythology is a common belief but not explicitly confirmed by Cameron.
