Egypt Legends

Ra the Shining One rose out of the mists that covered the waters.

Nothing floated above him. Ra was all-POWERFUL and his power came from his Secret Name.

This gave him the power to create a thing just by calling ITS name.

He said, "I am Khepera at the dawn, Ra at noon and Tum in the

evening." And the sun ROSE in the east and traveled across the sky to set in the west.

Thus he created the FIRST day.

He then named Shu the KEEPER of the wind, and Tefnut the god of rain. "Geb," he spoke, and the earth rose up from the sea.

Nut WAS NAMED and she stretched her body across the sky from one horizon to the other to form the arch that held the stars and path for the sun and moon.

Hapi he named last and the River Nile flowed through Egypt bringing life to the land. He named all things on earth and LASTLY named Man and Woman.
