The Memphite Theology inscribed on the Shabaka Stone is a saved copy of a papyrus document explaining how Ptah, God of the Artisans, created the world as the ancient Egyptians knew it. It was a decaying papyrus document found by the 25th Dynasty king Shabaka who preserved its remnants on a black basalt stone, now resident in the British Museum. Translated by the American James H. Breasted and commented on by Kurt Sethe, it is a cosmological explaining of how Ptah, Thoth and Horus fashioned the world as we know it. G.M. James in Stolen Legacy explained its praise of Atum; modern scientists tried to pattern their investigations into the Atom, and though they are considered advanced in this science, yet they know only one fifth of what the Egyptians discovered in their investigations of this phenomenon.
