Zep Tepi – When Gods Established Their Kingdom On Earth In Egypt

Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - In ancient Egyptian mythology, Zep Tepi can be translated as the 'First Time.' It was during Zep Tepi Gods established their kingdom on Earth in Egypt and performed their deeds that were later described in myths we read today.

When the Gods emerged for the first time, planet Earth was void of all life. Nothing existed, no humans, no animals, no plants, simply nothing.

Gods Planned The Creation Of Life Long Before The Establishment Of Kingship

Zep Tepi is an ancient Egyptian creation myth that explains how life merged on our planet. According to British Egyptologist Rundle T. Clark (1909– 1970), "the basic principles of life, nature and society were determined by the gods long ago, before the establishment of kingship." ¹

Clark stated, "this epoch—Zep Tepi—"the First Time"—stretched from the first stirring of the High God in the Primeval Waters to the settling of  Horus upon the throne and the redemption of Osiris.

All proper myths relate events or manifestations of this epoch. Anything whose existence or authority had to be justified or explained must be referred to the "First  Time."
