The Creation Story of Ancient Egypt
Atum leads the eight OGDOAD gods. Atum plus the eight OGDOAD gods are called the ENNEAD (“Nine”).
In the creation story of Ancient Egypt, in the beginning, there was water and eight gods in the water. The eight gods are called the OGDOAD (“Eight”) or the eight Primordial gods. These eight gods came in four pairs, masculine and feminine, each with a specific attribute.
Please Note: In ancient Egypt, the feminine’s name most likely ended in a “T”.
The Eight Primordial gods and their attributes
Hok and Hoket: Attribute of formlessness.
Kuk and Kuket: Attribute of Darkness.
Amun and Amunet: Attribute of hiddenness.
Nun and Nunet: Attribute of the primordial waters.
The Creation Story
The moment of creation takes place, and out of the chaotic water (or Nu) comes the primordial hill, a mound of Earth or BenBen. On the primordial hill was a special god, Atum dubbed, “The Self-Created god” who created himself and the other gods of Ancient Egypt.
Atum leads the eight OGDOAD gods. Atum plus the eight OGDOAD gods are called the ENNEAD (“Nine”). Atum self-creates two children, Shu and Tefnut. Shu is air, and masculine and Tefnut is moisture and feminine.
Biblical comparison
Genesis 1:26 (KJV) And God said, Let us make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness…
Genesis 1:2 (KJV) The Bible speaks of the attributes of the OGDOAD, And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Please Note: Isis’s name does not end with a feminine “T”. Isis is her name from the Greeks, and her Ancient Egyptian name is “IST”. The Greeks removed the “T” and added the “IS’ at the end.
Shu and Tefnut, air and moisture, have two children, Geb, masculine, Earth, and Nut, feminine, Sky Goddess. Geb and Nut have four gods, who are central to the Ancient Egyptian Pantheon, Isis, and Osiris, who are brother and sister, husband and wife. And, Set and Nephthys. Seth is sometimes spelled Set, same god, masculine and Nephthys is feminine, also brother and sister, husband and wife.
