- Atum (also known as Tem or Temu) was the first and most important Ancient Egyptian god to be worshiped in Iunu (Heliopolis, Lower Egypt), although in later times Ra rose in importance in the city, and eclipsed him to some extent; Atum was the creator god in the Heliopolitan Ennead ( (Ancient Egypt online, viewed August 5, 2019) )
- Atum, Egyptian god; Atum, in ancient Egyptian religion, one of the manifestations of the sun and creator god, perhaps originally a local deity of Heliopolis. Atum's myth merged with that of the great sun god Re, giving rise to the deity Re-Atum. When distinguished from Re, Atum was the creator's original form, living inside Nun, the primordial waters of chaos ( (Encyclopædia Britannica online, viewed August 5, 2019) )
- Atum is one of the most important deities since the earliest times in Egyptian mythology. Atum was known as the God of Creator. He was the first God to exist on the earth from waters of Chaos and he created all the Gods and the universe. Atum also spelled as Tem, Temu, Tum, and Atem whose name means "Complete" or "Perfection"; In later times, Atum was portrayed as a man merged with the setting sun and became Atum-Ra. He was worshipped by Egyptians throughout Egypt, with his cult centered on the city of Heliopolis ( (Egyptian gods and goddesses website, August 5, 2019) )
