BnBn. Benben or Ben-ben, in Heliopolis tradition, was the mound that arose from the primordial waters on which the creator god Atum settled.
In some of the Pyramid Texts, Atum is referred to as "mound". It was said to have turned into a small pyramid located in Annu. Other cities developed their own myths about the primeval mound. At Memphis the god Tatenen, an earth god was the personification of the primeval mound.
