Heliopolitan Ennead

The Heliopolitan Ennead is an ancient Egyptian religious group of nine deities centered around the city of Heliopolis. It includes gods like Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys. These gods represent fundamental aspects of the universe, such as creation, the sky, the earth, and the afterlife. The Ennead explains how the world and life emerged from chaos and divinity. It played a key role in Egyptian mythology, emphasizing the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, and helped Egyptians understand the origins of their universe through a complex divine family.
