Nu (mythology)
Nu (; "watery one"), also called Nun ( or ; "inert one") is the deification of the primordial watery abyss in ancient Egyptian religion. In the Ogdoad cosmogony, the word ''nu'' means "abyss".
==Origin myth==
The Ancient Egyptians envisaged the oceanic abyss of the Nun as surrounding a bubble in which the sphere of life is encapsulated, representing the deepest mystery of their cosmogony.〔''"The Oxford Essential Guide to Egyptian Mythology"'', Daniel R. McBride, Berkley, 2003, ISBN 0-425-19096-X〕 In Ancient Egyptian creation accounts the original mound of land comes forth from the waters of the Nun.〔"''Ancient Egypt''", David P. Silverman, p. 120, Oxford University Press US, 2003, ISBN 0-19-521952-X〕 The Nun is the source of all that appears in a differentiated world, encompassing all aspects of divine and earthly existence. In the Ennead cosmogony Nun is perceived as transcendent at the point of creation alongside Atum the creator god.〔
