EGYPT MYTH PROJECT BY JUHI PANDYA & ALEXIS SISCO
In the beginning there was only Nun, the god/goddess of destruction. The primal ocean of chaos which contained the seeds of everything to come.
In this jumble of waters the sun god reposed.
TEFNUT , SHU AND RA He emerged from chaos as Ra and gave birth to Shu and Tefnut by himself.
TEFNUT Tefnut was the Egyptian goddess of rain, water and moisture SHU Shu was the god of air
GEB AND NUT Shu, the god of air, and Tefnut, the goddess of moisture, gave birth to Geb and Nut, the earth God and sky Goddess.
RA’S TEARS Thus the physical universe was created. Men were created from Ra's tears.
Eons passed and Ra grew older, so the ungrateful race of men plotted against Ra. When Ra learned of these plots he angrily called a council of the Gods.
The Gods decided that mankind must be destroyed, and Ra dispatched the Goddess Hathor to wipe out humankind. Hathor did an effective job of it, killing men by the tens of thousands until only a tiny remnant was left.
Then Ra relented, and men were spared. But Ra was thoroughly sick of the world and retreated into the heavens, leaving Shu to reign in his place. At that time the present world was established. The end of Myth.
