Egyptian Creation Myths
Hermopolis Magna - Thoth and the Ogdoad
Hermopolis Magna Creation Myth
-
Primodial water (Nun and Naunet);
-
Air or Hidden Power (Amun and Amaunet);
-
Darkness (Kuk and Kauket); and
-
flood force or formlessness (Huh and Hauhet).
These form the Ogdoad (group of eight, in Egyptian, Khmun).
Male gods were frog headed and the goddesses were snakeheaded.
These eight elements combined to explode into a creation force causing a mound of earth called the Isle of Flame to rise up in the primordial waters.
The god Thoth, in the form on an ibis, placed a cosmic egg on the mound of earth. The egg hatched and the sun rose into the sky.
