	Ptah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The importance Ptah was given in history can readily be understood since the name Egypt derives from a Greek spelling of the phrase Ḥ.wt-k3-Ptḥ, (sometimes transcribed Hat-ka-Ptah), meaning temple of the Ka of Ptah, the name of a temple at Memphis.
		In Memphis, Ptah was worshipped in his own right, and was seen as Atum's father, or rather, the father of Nefertum, the younger form of Atum.
		Since Ptah was the primordial mound, and had called creation into being, he was considered the god of craftsmen, and in particular stone-based crafts.
