Inspired by the cycles of nature, the EGYPTIANS saw time in the present as a series of recurring patterns, whereas the earliest periods of time were l i n e a r . Present events repeat the events of myth, and in doing so renew M A A T , the fundamental order of the universe. Amongst the most important episodes from the mythic past are the creation myths, in which the gods form the universe out of primordial c h a o s; the stories of the reign of the sun god Ra upon the earth; and the Osiris myth, concerning the struggles of the gods Osiris, Isis, and Horus against the disruptive god Set.
