An ancient Egyptian creation story featuring the divinities and the earth and sky

The Story of the First Dawn

Four little children, Ausar, Auset, Setesh, and Nebt Het, standing in darkness, looking curious.

Once upon a time, there was only darkness. In this darkness, there lived four little children: Ausar, Auset, Setesh, and Nebt Het. They were curious and wanted to explore. One day, they heard a gentle voice. It was Geb, the Earth, and Nut, the Sky, speaking to them.

The Beginning

Geb, depicted as the Earth, smiling and talking to the four children.

Geb told the children that they had a special mission. 'You must bring light to the world,' Geb said. The children were excited but also a bit scared. They asked Geb how they could do it. Geb smiled and said, 'With love and teamwork, you can achieve anything.'

The Voice of Geb

Nut, depicted as the Sky with stars, talking to the four children.

Next, Nut, the Sky, came down to talk to the children. She told them that the stars were waiting to shine. 'But first, you must find the Sun,' Nut explained. The children looked up at the dark sky, feeling a sense of wonder. They decided to start their journey together.

Meeting Nut

The four children holding hands, walking across a dark land with stars above.

Ausar, Auset, Setesh, and Nebt Het held hands and began their journey. They walked across the dark land, guided by the soft glow of Nut's stars. Along the way, they sang songs to keep their spirits high. They felt the warmth of Geb beneath their feet. They knew they were on the right path.

The Journey Begins

Heru, a brave and strong boy, smiling as he joins the group of children.

After walking for a long time, they met a new friend named Heru. Heru was brave and strong, and he wanted to help. Together, they continued their journey. They climbed mountains and crossed rivers. They never gave up, even when they felt tired.

Finding Heru

The children and Heru standing in front of a cave, talking to a shy Sun.

Finally, they reached a cave where the Sun was hiding. The Sun was shy and afraid to come out. The children and Heru spoke kindly to the Sun. 'We need your light to bring a new day,' they said. The Sun felt their love and decided to rise.

The Hidden Sun

The Sun rising, with the sky turning orange and pink, and children cheering.

As the Sun rose, the darkness began to fade. The sky turned beautiful shades of orange and pink. Nut's stars twinkled one last time before the day began. Geb smiled as flowers and trees started to grow. The children cheered and danced in the light of the first dawn.

The First Dawn

The children standing together, looking proud, with Geb and Nut watching over them.

From that day on, Ausar, Auset, Setesh, Nebt Het, and Heru knew they had changed the world. They had brought light and life to the Earth. They promised to always work together and take care of their beautiful world. Geb and Nut watched over them with pride. And so, the world was filled with light and joy forever.
