Ptah the creator of the world by word | Egyptian gods and goddesses
Ptah is one of the oldest gods in Egyptian religion and mythology. He is the patron god of sculptors, craftsmen, builders, and artists. According to Memphite Theology, Ptah created the world and everything in it by his thought or word. This concept is referred to as Logos creation, a concept that later became a fundamental dogma in monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam).
“In the beginning was the Word (Logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.“ John 1:1
