The myth of (Iono) Heliopolis to create the universe

 

In the prehistoric age, the ancient Egyptians didn't have any specific idea about the origin of the world and its configuration, so they tried to identify the universe's secrets and learn how the earth was created as well as how life started on it. At that time, the legends appeared, which played an important role in the intellectual life and were considered as the early way to try understanding the surrounding world and define its features. Besides, the ancient Egyptians were thinking deeply that the earth itself as well as all the living organisms on it have created from water and this idea was confirmed in the later eras when the flood water arrived, which was flooded the whole kingdom and turning villages into islands, and when the flood water receding, the earth appear in the form of mud heights.

The myth of Heliopolis is considered as the first legends of creation and called for a past immemorial, where there was neither land nor sky and also there were no human beings. This era contains only a great aquatic entity called the "Noon", which created the spirit of creator God called "Atom" and he combines masculinity and femininity characteristics as a creator divinity.

Numerous and varied stories were told about “Tasu Heliopolis” and the most famous of these novels is that when "Atom" sneezed, he created "Shu" and then when he dregs, "Tefnut" was created.
