The“impenetrabledarkness”isconnectedaswellwithSetandApep,bothterrifyingintheiropposingnatures.ConsiderthelaterPersianconceptofAngraMainyu,whoalsodwelledin“impenetrabledarkness”.TheSerpentswhichguardedSekerandhisdwellingwerealsoofgreatpower,devouringsoulsandthosewhodispleasedthedeathgod.Intheconceptsofnothingness,Sekerstillhadisolateconsciousness,beingandaflameoflifewithin.
