Nun was an ancient god of creation and the primordial waters. The name of Nun was written with the hieroglyphic sign for “water,” and he was represented by the purifying lakes which belonged to every temple. At Abydos, Nun was symbolized by an underground stream. He was associated with Nile floods, ground water, and the seas which surrounded dry land.

The deep “well” shafts and steeply descending passageways in some of the New Kingdom royal tombs appear to symbolically descend toward the underlying waters of Nun in order to tie them to the underlying basis of creation, and thus recreation and rebirth. Mankind and gods were said to feast on the "fishes of Nun."

Nun was thought to purify and refresh the deceased on their way through the underworld, offering them "pure water," the most precious of all substances in desert countries. In religious scenes the king pours out water before Nun from vases, ritually returning the life-giving water to its source.

In Egyptian scriptures Nun was called “Infinity, Nothingness, Nowhere, and Darkness.” The Egyptians believed that when people slept, their spirits went to be rejuvenated in the waters of Nun. In ancient Egyptian creation accounts the original mound of land, the Benben, comes forth from the waters of the Nun.

Nun was thought to be the father of Thoth, or to have been created by Thoth. Many gods were said to have been born from the waters of Nun, such as Ra, Apophis, and Nehebkau.
