Facts about God Atum

One of the features of Egypt's greatness and progress is that it knew the one God, sanctified Him and even approached Him and offered Him sacrifices. It took a sacred plant, bird or animal and considered Him as a symbol of the good that God gave to the people of Egypt.

The title of God who was called this Holy was not meant by the great God of the Creator of the Universe, but by a special God on certain matters of life, such as agriculture and fertility, nile and air, as a kind of gratitude and thanks to this sacred according to the ancient Egyptian belief.

The god Atom is one of the greatest local gods who worshipped in the delta and was united with the god Ra, called Atom Ra, King of the Universe, Atom was King of the Arps, first appearance of the Lord of the Sun in Heliopolis, Ain Shams, and is one of the oldest Egyptian idols.

Atom embodies the ephemeral hill itself, which emerged from the ephemeral ocean called "Noon," declaring the beginning of existence and creation, a stone called "Ben Ben," which has been sacred in Ain Shams since the beginning of historical times, and subsequently evolved into the Slams.

Atom appeared over the upper hill in the image of the idol "Ra" as the legendary bird called "Bennu", a cloth bird, and late texts indicate that Atom had embodied the upper hill itself. Atom was represented in the human body sitting on top of his throne, laying on his head the double crown, sometimes depicting in the snake body based on his ephemeral nature the anguish of a creator, or he might be depicted in the shape of a lion, a bull, or in the lizard body, as a snake body, holding the child's sun lord inside the disk, and his attachment to the sun.
