world egg
Universe birth myth
A world egg is a cosmic egg from which the universe or world hatches in various creation myths.
The image appears across cultures—Hindu, Chinese, Finnish, Greek Orphic traditions—suggesting something universal about conceiving existence as emerging from an egg-like origin.
In mythology and comparative religion, the term describes this recurring motif of cosmic birth from a primordial ovoid form.
