The Ogdoad Frogs and Snakes Forming the Cosmic Egg
In the primordial era before the creation of the world, eight deities known as the Ogdoad represented the chaotic elements of the universe. These gods and goddesses, taking the forms of frogs and snakes, converged at Hermopolis to produce a mound of earth and a cosmic egg. From this egg, the sun god emerged, bringing light to the darkness and establishing the order of the cosmos.
