The Egyptian Book of the dead

Note 2 — Chapter LIV

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

It is a mistake to speak of a mundane egg, of which there is no trace in Egyptian mythology. Seb, the great cackling goose, 109lays the golden egg, which is the Sun; but does not mean ‘lay upon the earth,’ but ‘divide, separate from the earth.’ The egg springs from the back of Seb.
