Zep Tepi - The First Times

The accounts of Zep Tepi by the Egyptian priests at Edfu describe a time of the gods before the time of Menes, the actual historical founder of Egypt.

On the walls of the Edfu Temple, the story of Zep Tepi displays the rule of a real historic people, according to the Egyptians, who came to Egypt escaping the destruction of their homeland, and proceeded to gift the people of the Nile with fruits of civilization and agriculture.     

The intermediaries of this great progenitor culture were called the Urshu, who appeared in human form and often took on part of the shape of animals called Neteru.
