Egyptian Creation Myth
Storyboard Text
- Inside the walls of these pyramids, are stories written in hieroglyphics about how the world first came about.
- In the beginning all the world was, was a body of directionless water named Nun. Nun was personified as four females, and 4 male deities. Then a god named Atum created himself out of Nun.
- ”Shu, represented dry air, and his daughter, Tefnut, represented corrosive moist air. The twins symbolize two universal principles of human existence: life and right (justice).” These twins also separated the sky and waters from each other.
-
- The twins, Nut and Geb then decided to have four kids together.
- When Re became old, the deities tried to take advantage of his senility. Even humans plotted against him.
- . In pain, and weary of these problems, Re withdrew from the world. Taking the form of Hathor, he mounted on Nut (sky), who raised him to the heavens.
