Atum/Ra: the sun god. The Egyptian Gods were created by this god, Atum or Ra. Either name fits. Well, Atum (I'll just call him Atum for now) he created all of the gods: Shu, and Tefnut, then they had kids, Geb and Nut, and so on... Anyway he could be considered the "creator" of all teh Egyptian Gods. But some would argue. He rose out of the mound of sand, from the ocean god Nun. Some could argue that Nun was the "creator of the creator." But really, Nun wasn't signifacant in any way, shape, or form except for creating the god Atum. Atum is a very important god, not for jsut creating the other gods, and starting the line of others, he was important also because he rdoe in the sun chariot and brought light. He was looked upon as "the god" he carried the sun. That's kind of important. "Oh look we have no light hooray!" What? Who says that. He's a very signifacant god in the Egyptian religion. Go Atum. Keep carrying that sun!!!
