MYTH=There were other beings in the Garden of Eden Before Adam and Eve

The Myth: Let us make man in our image…And the LORD god said, Behold the man is become as one of us …(Gen. 1:26, 3:22). As a subtext Christians use this to prove an existence of a Trinity also.

The Reality: Genesis preserves traces of Atum’s conversations with Nun in the Egyptian Heliopolitan Creation myth.

On two occasions in the second Creation story, God talks to one or more other beings of a non-human nature. Before he made Adam, he said, “Lets us make man in our image”. And later, after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, he said, “man is become as one of us”. Who is this “Us”?

Once again, we have an obvious indication of other deities in the creation story. As the second creation story draws upon the Heliopolitan myths, the Egyptian Coffin text 80 provides a reasonable good clue as to whom God was speaking. In that text Atum (the Heliopolitan creator) and Nun (a personification of the primeval waters) carried on a conversation:

Then said Atum to the waters (Nun): I’am floating very weary, the natives inert…

The waters (Nun) said to Atum: Kiss your daughter Order (that is Tefnut, who signified moral order

The “us” in the Genesis story would originally referred to Atum and Nun. As the Hebrew creator replaced Atum in the creation process, the story went through transformations. The retention of the “us” preserves a remnant of the polytheistic Heliopolitan source for the biblical account.
 
The Myth: The sons of god came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown (Gen 6:4)

The Reality: this story describes political conditions durning Egypt's first intermediate period (2300bc-2040Bc). the sons of god would be the sons of a ruling pharaoh i.e the sons of horus. the daughters of man would be the daughters of a non-royal family.

Thank you for that question
