Historical Information

In Egyptian mythology, Nun (also known as Nuhn), was the embodiment of the sea of chaos that existed before the creation of the Earth. It was from Nun that Ra created himself, rising up on the first piece of land - the primeval mound (Benben) out of the lotus blossom, born from the world egg, or as a bnw-bird who then found and landed on the mound. In another story, it was Thoth who awoke from Nun and sang the unnamed four frog gods and snake goddesses who then continued Thoth's song to keep the sun travelling through the sky.
