Heh Egyptian God
It represents god Heh sign of millions of years, god of eternity he is represented with all his features carrying the notched palm rib “rnpt” the sign of years under it the frog (Hfn) on top of the Sn sign, in both hands and seated on the “nbw” sign. He was the personification of infinity or eternity in the Ogdoad in Egyptian mythology.
His name originally meant "flood", referring to the watery chaos that the Egyptians believed existed before the creation of the world.The Egyptians envisioned this chaos as infinite, in contrast with the finite created world, so Heh personified this aspect of the primordial waters. The Egyptians believed that before the world was formed, there was a watery mass of dark, directionless chaos.
In this chaos lived the Ogdoad of Khmunu (Hermopolis), four frog gods and four snake goddesses of chaos. These deities were Nun and Naunet (water), Amun and Amaunet (invisibility), Heh and Hauhet (infinity) and Kek and Kauket (darkness). The water stretched infinitely off in all directions, as ever lasting as time itself. Heh and Hauhet came to symbolise infinity. After the Egyptians believed that time began, Heh and Hauhet came to symbolise limitless time, and long life.
