Creation:
- The world was a waste of water, called Nu who was the father or Ra.
- Ra was the sun god who came to the water as a shining egg. Ra was greater than Nu.
- Ra created Shu (the wind god), Tevnut (the rain goddess), Seb (the earth god), Nut (the goddess of the firmament) who became parents of Osiris and Isis.
- Ra made the heavens and earth rise out of the water. All his thoughts became real and he created all things. Ra was the first king upon earth.
