Part One
The Primate of the Gods Ptah, conceived in his heart, everything that exists
and by His utterance created them all. He
is first to emerge from the primeval waters of Nun in the form of a Primeval
Hill. Closely following the Hill, the God Atom also emerges from the waters
and sits upon Ptah (The Hill). There remain in the waters four pairs of
male and female gods
(the Ogdoad, or unity of Eight-Gods), bearing the following names:-
(1) Nun and Naunet, i.e., the Primeval waters and the counter heaven.
(2) Huh and Hauhet, i.e., the boundless and its opposite.
(3) Kuk and Kauket, i.e., darkness and its opposite.
(4) Amun, i.e., (Amon) and Amaunet, i.e., the hidden and its opposite.

Memphite
Theology is the Source of Modern Scientific Knowledge.
The Ennead and the Nebular Hypothesis. The identity between the sun God Atom
and the atom of science:
The Ennead and the Nebular Hypothesis coincide. Not
is the Memphite Theology the source of Greek Philosophy or primitive science,
it is also the basis of modern scientific belief. Nine Gods, in the
Godhead called the Ennead, represent the Gods of Order and arrangement in
the cosmos. |
| Atum (Atom), the Sun God, i.e., Fire God created eight other Gods,
by naming four pairs of parts his own body, from which they came forth. Here
are the names of the Gods created Shu and Tefnut (Air and Moisture), Geb and
Nut (Earth and Sky) and two other pairs of opposites, Osiris and Isis, Seth
and Nephthys, who are supposed to be the first creatures of this world (Frankfort's
Intellectual Adventures of Man, p. 54). |

of the Egyptians. It is dated 700 B. C., and bears the name of an Egyptian
