Thus most of the Egyptians—whichever gods they worshipped—shared the common belief that the creation of the Earth could be compared with the appearance of a mound of land from the primeval ocean, just as every year they experienced the re-emergence of the land from the receding Nile floods. 

A similar connection between the world around us and cosmology can be found in the land between the Tigris and Euphrates. The Earth was regarded as a flat disc, surrounded by a vast hollow space which was in turn surrounded by the Armament of heaven. In the Sumerian creation myth, heaven and Earth formed...
