"Emen and Emenet were the forefathers of the Egyptians. They were born at sunrise. Among the offspring of the eight primordials was Tehuty, who carried the divine intelligence within him. Tehuty brought language and divine speech into existence, and his words explained and foretold the future of mankind.

His words and knowledge became commands, and the commands became reality through the efforts of Ptah, the first craftsman on earth, who instructed artists in all forms of art, and Khnemu, the first master builder, who developed the life of mankind through his divine work of architecture.

Ptah and Khnemu brought Tehuty's commands to fruition, and we marvel at the remnants of their work still to be seen today in the land of Egypt.

There was no evil in Etelenty, and the men and women who lived there followed the laws of nature. Since the creation process was not yet complete, the inhabitants of Etelenty saw the creation of the moon out of the soil of the Atlantic Ocean, and the creation of plants, animals, birds and creeping things. The earth, however, was unstable and so Tehuty, knowing that Etelenty would be submerged by the ocean, ordered the emigration of the four families that formed the population of Etelenty.
