According to [[Egyptian mythology]], Bennu was a self-created being said to have played a role in the [[ancient Egyptian creation myths|creation of the world]]. He was said to be the ''[[ancient Egyptian concept of the soul#Ba|ba]]'' of [[Ra]] and to have enabled the creative actions of [[Atum]].<ref name="Hart">{{cite book |last=Hart |first=George |title=The Routledge Dictionary of Egyptian Gods and Goddesses |edition=Second |location=New York |publisher=Routledge |year=2005 |pages=48–49 |isbn=0-415-34495-6 }}</ref> The deity was said to have flown over the waters of [[Nu (mythology)|Nun]] that existed before creation, landing on a rock and issuing a call that determined the nature of creation. He also was a symbol of rebirth and, therefore, was associated with [[Osiris]].<ref name="Wilkinson">{{cite book |last=Wilkinson |first=Richard H. |title=The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt |location=London |publisher=Thames & Hudson |year=2003 |page=[https://archive.org/details/completegodsgodd00wilk_0/page/212 212] |isbn=0-500-05120-8 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/completegodsgodd00wilk_0/page/212 }}</ref>
