Stokstad says "shaped from the waters of chaos.. and emerged sealed atop a mound of sand hardened by its own rays."

From him, Shu, the god of air and Tefnut, the god of moisture, were created. These two in turn had Geb, the earth god, and Nut, the sky god. From these the god of the elements were able to produce creation. 

In turn, these two produced Osiris, Isis, Seth, and Nephthys. This myth was the most widely accepted and famous of the creation myths. 

Isis and Osiris marry (icccch).  Osiris becomes king of Egypt.  Seth plays a trick. 

Isis and Nepthys reassemble the body.

Seth

• Trickster god disordered the world.
• Seth is similar to the Norse god Loki.

• also spelled PHTHAH, 
• creator-god and maker of things, a patron of craftsmen, especially sculptors; his high priest was called "chief controller of craftsmen." He was represented as a man in mummy form, wearing a skullcap and a short, straight false beard. As a mortuary god,  Ptah was often fused with Seker (or Soker) and Osiris to form Ptah-Seker-Osiris.

Isis was used as a symbol to express the duties and roles of a "good" woman.

also called Athyr, in ancient Egyptian religion, goddess of the sky, of women, and of fertility and love. Hathor's worship originated in predynastic times (4th millennium BC). The name Hathor means "estate of Horus" and may not be her original name. Her principal animal form was that of a cow, and she was strongly associated with motherhood. Hathor was closely connected with the sun god Re of Heliopolis, whose "eye" or daughter she was said to be. In her cult centre at Dandarah in Upper Egypt, she was worshiped with Horus.

Horus

• Son of Osiris and Isis
• Falcon headed
• Left eye damaged in a fight with Seth and replaced with the moon
• Similar to ‘Raven’ story
• Horus was the archetype or role model of the "good" son.

HORUS  also called HOR, OR HAR, god in the form of a falcon whose eyes were the sun and the moon. Falcon cults were widespread in Egypt. At Nekhen (Greek: Hierakonpolis), however, the conception arose that the reigning king was a manifestation of Horus and, after Egypt had been united by the kings from Nekhen, this conception became a generally accepted dogma. The first of the Egyptian king's five names was the Horus name--i.e., the name that identified him with Horus.
