How was Ancient Egyptian believe in earth started

1. How did the ancient Egyptians think the world came into existence? There are four different creation myths that originated from the four major ancient
Egyptian cities: Heliopolis, Hermopolis, Memphis, and Thebes, each centered on their specific patron god.
Heliopolis
Atum was the patron god of Heliopolis, which is why
he has a central role in their creation myth. Atum
emerged from the primeval waters on a mound, the
primeval waters being the only thing that existed
before creation. In these waters, also known as the
‘waters of Nun’ he was a being of nothingness, but
once he emerged he became the creator god. From
his mound Atum masturbated and from this created
Shu, the god of the air, and his sister Tefnut. Another
form of the Heliopolis myth has Atum sneezing
and/or spitting to create Shu and Tefnut. Their
creation allowed for the emptiness between the
earth and the sky.
Shu and Tefnut then proceeded to produce Geb, the
earth god, and his sister Nut, the goddess of the
skies, thereby outlining the perimeters of the world.
Geb and Nut then proceeded to produce four more
beings: Osiris, who was the god of fertility and
regeneration; Isis, who was the goddess of motherhood; Set (or Seth), who was the god of masculine sexuality; and Nephthys, who was the goddess of
female sexuality, the counterpart of Set. These four new beings represented the main forces of life. The Heliopolis myth symbolizes the process by which all
life was made possible.
Initially these nine gods were known as the Ennead, but the eight descendants of Atum were seen as lesser gods, and as only a part of Atum himself.
