The ancient Egyptians created several enneads as their unification under Dynasty I brought numerous local cults into contact with one another.

The most notable case is Seti I of Dynasty XIX, whose mortuary temple at Redesiyah celebrated an ennead of six major gods and three deified forms of himself.

The ennead mentioned in the Egyptian calendar of lucky and unlucky days,[5][full citation needed] may reference the Pleiades.

It celebrated the family of the sun god Atum (sometimes referred to as Atum-re[3]) and thrived from the Old Kingdom to the Ptolemaic period.
