On the hill spouted above the river of chaos, the self created sun Goddess birthed
The Goddess of moisture Tefnut
The God of air Shu
Birthed the Goddess of abundance and fertility Bastet
The Goddess of love and beauty Hathor
The Goddess of truth and justice Maat
The Goddess of catastrophe Sekhmet.
Her children Tefnut and Shu, loved each other
They gave birth to the Goddess of the sky Nut and the God of the earth Geb
Nut and Geb were in love and wanted to have a child.
However
"Geb's and Nut's child shall rule Egypt"
After hearing the prophecy, the sun Goddess became jealous
And cursed Nut to never bear any children
Nut, saddened by this, sought out the God of children and wisdom Thoth and asked for assistance.
Though took pity on her and made a wager with the sun Goddess over a game of senet*
With his shining wisdom, he won the game and made the sun Goddess cover his eyes for four days.
During the four days they were sanctioned, Nut and Geb gave birth to
The God of life Osiris
The Goddess of magic Isis
The Goddess of harmony Nephthys
And the God of war and deserts Set
Four Gods birthed by the sky and earth
The Goddess of the sky Nut who encompassed the world
And the God of the earth Geb
Dividing the sky and the earth
The God of air Shu
The Goddess of moisture Tefnut
Even the sun Goddess, creator of all things.
The Egyptians named these ten Gods 'The ENNEAD.'
Set, the God of war and deserts, ruled the sands and protected Egypt from outside enemies
