Atum

Atum ( Itm ), often called “Father of the Gods,” was the first god of creation and head of the Ennead (initial nine gods) in the Heliopolitan tradition. He was most often depicted in the likeness of a king, as a fully human man wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, though with a uniquely‐shaped beard. Atum's principal geographic centers were at Heliopolis and Pithom ( Per‐Tem ).
