Ancient Egyptian creation myths are the ancient Egyptian accounts of the creation of the world. The Pyramid Texts, tomb wall decorations and writings, dating back to the Old Kingdom have given us most of the information regarding early Egyptian creation myths. These myths also form the earliest religious compilations in the world. The ancient Egyptians had many creator gods and associated legends. Thus, the world or more specifically Egypt was created in diverse ways according to different parts of the country. Some versions of the myth indicate spitting, others masturbation, as the act of creation. The union between the first divine couple brought forth another brother-sister pair, Geb and Nut, who in turn created Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nephthys. An extension to this basic framework was the Osiris myth involving god, his consort Isis, and their son Horus. The murder of Osiris by Seth, and the resulting struggle for power, won by Horus, provided a powerful narrative linking the ancient Egyptian ideology of kingship with the creation of the cosmos.

In Mandaean mythology, Ptahil, also known as Ptahil-Uthra, is considered to be the son of Abatur. In Mandaeism, Ptahil-Uthra alone does not constitute the demiurge but only fills that role since he is viewed as the creator of the material world in the Ginza Rabba, often holding an inherently malicious character. In some versions of the narrative, Ptahil originated from two uthras referred to as Hibil Ziwa and Zahriel. Hibil Ziwa, who is considered to be Ptahil's father, controls the worlds of light, whereas his mother, Zahriel rules over the realms of darkness. Ptahil creates the material world with the help of Ruha, an evil female ruler who inhabits the World of Darkness.
