Veinus

Veinus: noun. In Middle South Asian mythology it is believed that humans emerged from a particularly rich vein in a rock deep underground and then spent the next billion years crawling out, only to emerge and realise they would much rather be back underground. This vein of unusually fertile rock is referred to as veinus [pronounced vein-us]. Nobody knows where the veinus is or the tunnel that the primordial humans emerged from. There is every possibility that the veinus is still spewing forth humans and one day the ground shall erupt with millions of mole-like humans, who have survived on dirt for millennia.
