Amalur or Ama Lurra[1] (Basque for "Mother Earth"), is the mother of Ekhi, the sun, and Ilazki, the moon, in Basque mythology. She is the home not only of living beings, but also of mythological creatures, divinities and souls. Amalur (Mother Earth) sustains the life of plants and animals. She holds amazing treasures in her bosom.[2]
The 1968 Basque documentary Ama lur was a celebration of the Basque countryside.[3]
