2431	ENT_EGY_NUN	aligned_with	ENT_MES_APSU	medium	Nun and Apsu are the two nearest cross-cultural parallels for the concept of the primordial male freshwater/undifferentiated-water abyss from which creation emerges: Nun is the Egyptian primordial watery chaos (gendered male), while Apsu is the Akkadian primordial freshwater ocean (also gendered male) who mingles with Tiamat (salt water) to produce the first gods in the Enuma Elish. Both Nun and Apsu represent the primordial water-before-creation as an existential category, both are gendered male, and both precede and enable the creation of the ordered cosmos. The parallel is widely noted in comparative cosmogony scholarship. Confidence medium: both are independently developed primordial water deities with no direct historical connection; the parallel is structural/typological. Pinch (2002) pp. 167-168.
