Changes

The idea of creation is a complex concept that was approached differently by various peoples in the ancient world. The ancient Egyptians had three primary cosmogonies that corresponded with three of their most important deities and although each of these creation myths offered different cosmologies, they were not mutually exclusive. In a similar manner, the Egyptians’ contemporaries in Mesopotamia also had multiple creation myths, but they arrived at their multitude of cosmogonies for different reasons.
