At first there was an ocean of water called Nun or Nu. From this ocean came Ra. Ra then created light. He then created the air god, Shu, and the goddess of moisture, Tefnut. These gods then had Nut, the sky goddess, and Geb, the earth god. The physical universe was then formed. Next, against Ra's orders Nut and Geb had married and Nut became pregnant. As Ra had sad that Nut could not give birth on any month of the year Thoth, the god of learning, gamble with the moon for light and won 5 extra days to add to the 360 day calender. On these days were born Osiris, Horus the Elder, Seth, Isis and Nephthys.
