I know that that's mentioned at the beginning of every DiscWorld. It's primarily a Hindu mythology (for the elephants) but the turtle thing is known in Asian and Native American mythology as well. An essay was written on the theory that these stories of origin are not about Earth but about the Milky Way galaxy which has a very disc-like appearance seeming to explain why their have been so many myths regarding "the world, she is-a flat."
