Ancient Egyptian Religion
Egyptians had many
tales about how the world began
According to one
legend
Started with an
ocean in darkness
Then a mound of dry
land rose up and the sun god Ra appeared
Ra created light and
all things
Another version, Sun
god emerges from a sacred blue lotus that grew out of the mud
Third version, Ra appears as a scarab beetle on the
eastern horizon.
