Already in the creation myth of the Egyptians the egg played a symbolic role.
The egg is a symbol of fertility and new beginnings, a metaphor of change, fusion, transformation. Hardness becomes softness, fragility becomes strength. The egg is the symbol of hope. Throughout history, countless artists have made the egg the subject or metaphorical component of their work.
According to modern cosmological models, 13.8 billion years ago the entire mass of the universe was compressed in a gravitational singularity, the so-called cosmic egg, from which the universe developed through the Big Bang to its present state.
