The ancient Egyptians, like all literate cultures, developed a written cosmogony that explained how the world was created. The Egyptians believed that their gods and goddesses played significant roles in the creation of the physical world and later humanity. At first glance ancient the Egyptian cosmogony does not seem very different than those of other cultures, but a closer examination reveals that the Egyptian system had one very notable difference than all others – there were actually three creation myths.
