Ra/Atum or Atum/Ra. Does it make a difference? It's hard writing a blog with two or three different names as your topic. Anyway, a question I asked at the start of this project was who created Ra? I thought Ra creted everything in the Egyptian religion. Guess not. Ra/Atum was created by the sea god Nun, and Nun was the whole earth. Before Atum/Ra Nun was just an ocean that covered the earth.
And out of the ocean sprouted a mound of sand called Ben-Ben, and out of Ben-Ben came Atum/Ra. Great...awsome...no one cares about a falcon-headed man coming out of a sand mound.
