Like the old human , the most important things that occupied the ancient Egyptian thought were the origin of creation, so many myths emerged around

The beginning of the gods and the universe. There were three legends about Creation and Creation according to three different theories assigned to the first city

Heliopolis and the second to Hermopolis and the third to Mannf, but in the end overcame the legend of Heliopolis after it mixed some views

Small theories of Hermopolis and Menouf. But we will summarize the three legends as follows.



The first myth is the legend of Heliopolis that the universe was created from a non-problematic water called N, from which God emerged

Atom, who appeared on a hill called the first knoll or the godhead of creation - and the god as the atom is equal to the god Ra - and then God came to find

The "god" of the air and the "goddess of the air", the goddess of the earth and the goddess "Not"

The sky then produced "Osiris, Isis, West, and Nevis"

The nine gods formed the so-called divine divinity (the assembly of the nine gods), and this is considered to be one divine entity.

From this system is a cosmic theory, which is the portrayal of the universe as a triad that is made up of the god of the air and standing with his hands on the body

He is stretched out to the Lord of the heavens, and the Lord shall lay a brow at his feet.

The second theory, which originated in Hormopolis, says that the non-problem material existed before the creation of the universe and had four

The qualities correspond to eight of the gods in pairs:

"Nun and Nunit" the god and the goddess of eternal water (the first water).

"Hogg and Huhait" god and the goddess of space (space)

"Cook and Cook" god and the goddess of darkness

"Amun and Amunit" the god and the goddess of concealment



Before the creation of the earth, these gods were regarded as mere attributes of the non-problematic material (representation). These gods were formed by Thamon Hermopolis

(The assembly of the eight gods) also emerged from the material that is not the problem of the eternal (first) knob in Hormopolis and on that knoll

There was an egg which came out of the sun god and then took the sun god in the organization of the world ..

The third theory that appeared in Memphis - after it became the capital of Egypt - attempted to glorify the god "Ptah" the god of Memphis,

The myth of the creation of the universe is the Great Creator God but made it contain 8 other gods, some of which are the heliopolitical cosmos and the rest

Of the hormonal pyramid.

Atom took a special place in this theory and introduced the pair "Nun and Tuppet" in the group as he introduced Tathan (one of the gods of Manf)

Which is the embodiment of the God from which the first eternal material emerged and then four other undefined gods were added.

According to theory, the god Atum bears the attributes of the activity and vitality of the god Ptah, the qualities through which creation is achieved

The qualities of intelligence (the idea) and the heart and embodied by God Horus and then the will and tongue and embodied by God Thoth It is said that God Ptah was

The world is in a mental image before it is created by the word (be it).

Note: In some of the myths of the coming names of some gods consists of more than one section and this indicates either the evolution of God

Or to the integration of some gods into me in the form of a greater God.
