Ancient Egyptian Creation Myth “The Theory of Uon “Heliopolis”

"In the timeless expanse, Atum, the primordial god, spoke existence into being, sculpting the universe from the infinite abyss, birthing life from the sacred breath of creation."

The birth of the god “Ra.”

It is the first theory that begins in the city of Uon, the stronghold of the worshipers of the god Ra, the God of the sun, and we find at first “Noon,” which is a mass that has not yet formed and inside it are the seeds of life

And the god Ra is born from noon in an unknown way and then declares himself the ruler of the universe, but Noon does not stop his role there, but hides at the borders of the living world, forming a huge negative energy that threatens to overrun the world

On the other hand, the God “atom,” the idol of Heliopolis, began his self-existence from above a humiliating Hill, which in turn emerged from the water, then the God breathed into his hand and out of his mouth the God “Shu,” the God of air, and his consort “Tefnut”, the God of moisture, from whose offspring the rest of the other gods emerged
And Atom acquires 3 main qualities, which are:

  1. self-contained
  2. the one who came into being by himself
  3. the oldest

Therefore, he is the ruler over all the other gods and the other face of the god Ra

The beginning of creation

After Ra took over the rule of the universe, he sent his Rays to the Earth so that the waves begin to recede and the Rays descend on the first hill of sand on the surface of the earth to take the Rays dimensions, forming a high stone called “Ben Ben” in the city of oun and then became a place of glorification in all of Egypt, and these rays carried the divine material of the god Ra, who sexually United with herself to give birth to the second generation of Gods

Generations of Gods

The second generation of the gods consists of a couple, the God “Shu,” the Lord of drought and air, and the god “Tefnut,” the God of moisture, and from their union, the third generation produced another couple, the God “Geb,” the Lord of the Earth, and the gods “nut,” the God Of Heaven, who gave birth to four children, and they are (Osiris-Isis-Set-Nephthys)
From here begins the rule of the gods and the myth of ISIS and Osiris, which we will tell in another article

The creation of humans and the moon

The theory says that the god Ra lost one of his eyes and sent his two sons Shu and Tefnut, to look for her, and for a long time, they were absent. He took another eye for himself, but the absent Eye returned to find the change that happened, so she cried out of anger, and human tears resulted, but RA satisfied his eye by handing it to the God “tohot” to raise it to the sky to light the night so that the moon is born

When Horus lost an eye in his war with his uncle Set, tohot gave him that eye to become the supreme model of physical integration

Human Revolution

After years, mankind revolts against their Creator, the god Ra, who decides to erase them from the Earth, and the gods send “Hathor” in the form of a huge monster, and in one day, it preyed on a large part of humans, Ra took pity on them and poured beer during the night on the land that was mixed with the water of the Nile

Hathor took to licking this drink until she got drunk and fell asleep, so humanity survived after RA was disappointed in her; where he decided to withdraw to heaven, so he settled on his Heavenly Cow raised by the God Shu and handed over the administration of the earth to the God to hot and handed over the royal symbols to the God Geb and the separation between humans and gods and from here begins the rule of the Pharaohs chosen by the gods
