The term "Ogdoad" refers to a group of eight deities in ancient Egyptian mythology. These gods and goddesses were associated with the creation of the world and were primarily worshipped in the city of Hermopolis. The Ogdoad consisted of four pairs of male and female deities, each representing aspects of chaos and creation, such as Nun and Naunet, who symbolized the primordial waters. In the Ogdoad's mythology, these deities were believed to have existed before the physical world was formed. They played a crucial role in the creation process, helping to bring order from chaos. The Ogdoad's influence can be seen in various ancient Egyptian texts and religious practices, highlighting their importance in the culture's understanding of the universe.
