Hi, I'm back. The Egyptian creation story has conflict, as usual in any story or legend. The conflict in this myth is not necessarily a fight or a battle. In the process of creating the world, Atum had two children, Shu and Tefnut. They continues to help their father in the process, but sometime after their birth, they got lost within the waters of Nu. Atum became distressed and intent on finding his lost children. He sent his one, all-seeing eye into the waters in search of his offspring. Luckily, they eye returned in little time with the two gods. Atum was so happy to see his children that he shred tears of joy. Where each tear hit the ground, a human was formed. While this conflict may be small and not action-packed, it still adds suspense and enticement into the myth.
