У пропонованій статті зіставляється з єгиптологічної, філософської та світоглядної точок зору роль космічного яйця в заупокійних текстах Стародавнього Єгипту (головним чином, Текстах пірамід, Текстах саркофагів і Книзі мертвих), а також у космобаченні орфічних гімнів. Яйце, що є архетипом і символом нового життя та відродження у багатьох культурах, мало першорядне значення як у Стародавньому Єгипті, так і в Стародавній Елладі. У першому випадку ми зустрічаємо щонайменше 67 випадків появи терміна “яйце” (swḥt) в основних заупокійних текстах періоду фараонів (3 у Текстах пірамід, 48 у Текстах саркофагів і 16 у Книзі мертвих), а також архетип Великого Гоготуна (Ngng-Wr), з посиланням на поняття світла, нового життя, повітря, вітру та дихання. Надалі космогонічне яйце, разом із сонячним божеством і божеством-творцем Фанесом (Φάνης), також зустрічається в орфічній літературі та головним чином в орфічному гімні, присвяченому цьому божеству-амфісексуалу. Вищевикладене обговорюється, і надаються цікаві порівняння не тільки між еллінським і єгипетським божествами, але також між еллінським і єгипетським паралельними поняттями, що стосуються космогонії. Крім того, приділено увагу вислову 56 Книги мертвих, що стосується космічного яйця, а також близьким орфічним метафізичним доктринам, із наданням у деяких випадках порівнянь (mutatis mutandis) із важливими поняттями сучасної космології.
