CHAPTER

Is It Too Far From Now the Way Moderns Think of the Land?

In egyptian cosmology, a picture will come up with a figure of a woman in an arch. From atum emerge a number of deities. All they all evolve and develop out of autum, the egg. And so he keeps doing this, self reproducing. Each time a new cosmic emerges out of him. But the whole point is the cosmos is self generating.

That's why I'm trying to make sense of our world today.
