CoSMOGONY
cosmogony This was the base of creation traditions of
Egypt, legends that supposed political and religious significance
in each new age of the nation. The number and
variety of these myths provide insight into the development
of Egyptian spiritual values and clearly delineate
the development of certain divine cults.
To start with, the ancient people of the Nile did not
interest themselves with doctrinal or theological purity
and accuracy, but they did stick to a logical advancement
in issues of religious importance Spiritual consciousness
and acompatible unity, both in the person
and in the nation, were elements that kept Egyptians
protect and fix. Their religious ambition were cultic
in nature, dependent upon ritual and celebration, upon
renewed indication of ideals and values. Dogmas or
doctrines did not concern the usual individuals
specifically. In fact, the Egyptians were unpleasant
and reasonable development. It was enough for them to
see the god, to hear his or her concerns for the land, and
to mirror the cosmic harmony that their astronomical
abilities had gathered for them in the sky.
There were basic systems of creation theology in all
times of Egypt’s development. They were found at
HELIOPOLIS, HERMOPOLIS MAGNA, MEMPHIS, and THEBES.
Other local temples provided their own cosmogonic
information, but the four major ones provided the framework
for spiritual evolution in Egypt.
The basic tenets of these cosmological systems were
twofold: (1) the universe was once a primordial ocean
called NUN or Nu; (2) a primeval hill arose to bring life
out of confusion and darkness. The cosmogonic belief of the
city of Heliopolis are available in the PYRAMID TEXTS of
the Old Kingdom but are reduce and appear to make reference
to what was common knowledge of the time. In this
creation story the god ATUM appear from the watery
chaos called Nun. Atum made his first appearance on the
hill that became the great temple at Heliopolis. By 2300
B.C.E., the god Atum was recogonized with RÉ, becoming
Ré-Atum, symbolized by the BENBEN or a SCARAB. Ré-
Atum began making the other divine beings of Egypt
through masturbation. SHU, his son, was then spit out of
his mouth, and Ré-Atum vomited out TEFNUT.
