Please read the First part of this article: Science behind Hindu God Brahma.
Hindu Vedas (Prajapati) and Brahmana (satapata) literature preserved the legend of Brahma alias Prajapati. Brahma is four faced who could see the entire universe. His four faces emit the sounds of Four Vedas.
Four faced Gods are found around the world. Svetovid/ Svatovid/Sventovit (meaning world seer, white in colour) are the names of Slavic God. Another four faced god is found in Sumer, but no one knows much about this god. All went from India and lost their identities in course of thousands of years. Statues of Brahma are found throughout South East Asia. Cambodian statues of Brahma are preserved in Guimet Museum, Paris, France.

Satapata Brahmana says,
He uttered Bhur, the earth appeared;
He said Bhuvar and the air appeared;
He said Suvar and the sky appeared
From these five syllables he created the seasons.
Prajapati then stood up. He was born aged a thousand years.
Just as one can see the far shore across a river, so could he contemplate the far shore across his age ( XI.1, 6, 6).

After Prajapati issued the living beings, his joints started to dislocate. His joints were the junctions of the day and night, full moon and new moon and the beginning of each season. Gods cured him by the ritual of Agnihotra, which tightened his joints. The sun would not rise if the priest did not make the offerings of fire at dawn (Satapata Brahmana II.3,1-5)

Mandasore Stone inscription of Yasodharman (533 CE) refers to Brahma as the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer.
