About @tum Creations

 

The idea itself came about because so many people were asking me to do some website work for them and I had an idea for cheap sites for bands around Ireland but no way of showing those musicians what I meant (thus Music Scene Ireland was born). I needed a place to consolidate all of my work and to have an interactive brochure of sorts that I could show people.

 

@tum Creations is run by one person and is best suited to creating sites for private clients.

 

 

Why the name?

 

Atum - Something from Nothing

 

 

 

A little Egyptian history:

 

 

Atum - A neter of primordial light worshipped in the city of Heliopolis who was believed to have emerged from the dark and watery abyss of Nun by an act of self-awareness.  Like the atom, Atum was considered the building block of all physical matter and the father of fundamental neteroo (or forces) known as the divine Ennead.

 

Atum

Other Names: Temu, Tem.

 

Patron of: the sun, creation, rulership of the gods.

 

Appearance: rarely human, usually depicted as a crown or as one of his many totem animals. He is sometimes depicted as a black bull carrying the sun disk between his horns.

 

Description: In the creation myths, Atum is the primal creator. He created himself (or arose out of nothing) and created the first gods, Shu and Tefnut, from his spittle. The Memphite creation myth puts him as the first creation of Ptah, who simply said his name and he came into being.

 

Atum was revered not only as the father of the gods but also as the father of the pharaohs. The title "Son of Atum" was included in the many titles of the king, even after the pharaohs styled themselves "Sons of Ra."

 

Worship: Worshipped widely throughout Egypt, with his cult center at Heliopolis.

 

Variants:

 

Ra-Atum/Atum-Ra

A composite deity with Ra. The primordial creative force combined with the ruler of the gods. In this form, Atum also symbolized the setting sun and its journey through the underworld to its rising in the east.
