Many Western narratives have oversimplified ancient Egyptian religion, presenting it as having a singular creation myth or focusing solely on the Heliopolitan cosmogony (Atum-Ra). Records left by the ancient Egyptians demonstrate that Egypt had multiple creation myths tied to various cities over millennia, reflecting the richness and complexity of Egyptian theology. Egyptian cosmogonies were not static but evolved, each city contributing its own local interpretation of how the world and mankind came into existence.
