Concept

According to Egyptian mythology, at the beginning of all things, there was only a vast primordial ocean personified by the goddess Noun in which was reflected the original Darkness, a sky of shadow and emptiness that has been present since time immemorial.

As a result of many frictions generated by repeated contacts between the ocean and the Darkness, a light breath of life (personified in the form of the god Atum) emerged. The breath of life Atum, being too weak to create life by itself, a particularly benevolent deity created himself to help Atum shape the Universe: Ra, the falcon-headed god.

The ouroboros represents a snake that eats itself. “symbol of the perpetuation of the eternal cycle of life”
