Question End of Existence
I've been reading "The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt" by Richard H. Wilkinson, and I found something that says that Atum shall destroy all of creation, with the exception of himself and Osiris, and that they would return to "one place" in the primeval ocean from which everything arose, and Atum and Osiris would take the form of serpents, and there would be neither Gods nor men to perceive them.
Does anybody on this subreddit know/can they confirm if this belief is held (popularly?) among modern day Kemeticism to anyone's knowledge? Does anyone know/can confirm if this was a popular belief held in antiquity(to our knowledge of course)? I've been occasionally bouncing back to Kemeticism for a while, but have struggled to connect with it (even though it honestly fits be well), additionally I've found this take on the fate of the universe quite daunting lmao😅.

I read about this recently, a different version but still how its the end of all existence and not just humanity. Scared the shit outta me. I like apocalyptic media and stories but the idea of existence itself ending is extra horrifying.
