Egyptian Mythology is based on a creation myth that tells on a egg that appeared
on the ocean , When that egg hatched , out came Ra , the sun god .
As a result , ancient Egyptians became worshipers of the sun and the
nine original deities , which were most of Ra's children and grandchildren

While the Norse Mythology is lesser known , we use it everyday . Most days
