Egyptian Myths

 Egyptian Myths

Author : KUSH SANDEEP HARIANI

As I described in my last blog, our world was shaped by myths. Every historical site has something reminiscent of these myths. This incudes Egypt, one of the oldest civilizations. Obelisks and pyramids were created due to myths, and their influence can be seen even today. Why, The Washington Monument and Victoria' Needle are obelisks, and the Musée de Louvre is a pyramid. In this blog I will tell you how the world began.

At first there was a sea of nothing but Chaos, and in this Primordial soup, swam Apophis, the Serpent of Chaos. One day, from the Sea. rose an obelisk, and this was the first piece of land, and the symbol of Ma'at (Order). And from here rose Ra, the Embodiment of Order and the nemesis of Apophis. From him came two more gods, from his sneeze came Tefnut, goddess of rain, and from his breath came Shu, the god of wind and air.

There were also other gods- Sekhmet-Goddess of illness and the first Eye of Ra, Sobek-The god of Crocodiles, Bast-The goddess of cats, and the second Eye of Ra. The world of mortals separated form the realm of the supernatural, which was called the Duat. In the Duat was the River of Night, through which Ra traversed, and on its shores were places such as the Halls of Judgement(The place where human souls were judged after death), and The Land of Demons(where most demons and servants of Chaos resided).

That was all for today. Hope you liked my blog, Please share your views on it. Ta!
