Il Benben, nella mitologia egizia, e più specificamente nella cosmogonia di Eliopoli (cfr. Enneade), era la collina primigenia che emerse dall'oceano primordiale del Nun, e sulla quale il dio creatore Atum generò se stesso e la prima coppia divina. Nei Testi delle piramidi, linea 1587, si fa riferimento ad Atum cioè “collina”: si dice che si trasformò in una piccola piramide, situata in Annu, il luogo ove si diceva risiedesse.
