I've decided to split my "Saturn: The Demon Deity Unveiled" post into separate posts, mainly due to the weird fact that I cannot seem to edit that post anymore. Maybe I added too much stuff to that post? Either way, I hope that splitting that massive post up will be easier for people to read.
Part 1: Atum.
Atum (Talbott, 1980, p. 11 Figure 1):
Now, we're in Africa. I wanted to go in order of the continents, but we had to start in the Middle East in order to understand the pattern used to identify Saturn. We will use Ea as an example for identifying Saturn in Africa, and we will focus on the Egyptian pantheon.
Re-Horakhty statue (1069-664 B.C.) (Art Institute of Chicago) (American Research Center in Egypt):
In Fayyum, the oldest city in Egypt dating to the "fifth millennium B.C.," (Bagnall and Rathbone, 2004, p. 127), or "4,000 B.C.," (Rol Cruize, 2023, The oldest cities in the world, Faiyum, Egypt), the god worshipped there was Sebek. Sebek was later equated to Re as "Sebek-Re," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Sebek) (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Re, para. 2) (Remler, 2000, p. 180). Re (or Ra) originated in On/Heliopolis (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Re, para. 2), which is where the god Atum was worshipped (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Atum, para. 1). Not surprisingly, Re was equated to Atum under the name "Atum-Re," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Re), or "Re-Atum" (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Atum, para. 2). Re was equated to other gods as well, such as Amon (Amon-Re), Khnum/Chnum (Khnum-Re), and Horus-Harakhte (Re-Harakhty). Re gets his famous falcon-headed form from Horus under the name Re-Harakhty. Re rose "from the ocean of chaos on the primeval hill, creating himself and then in return engendering eight other gods." He also fought the "evil serpent Apopis (Apepi)" to "be born again for the new day," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Re) (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Horus, para. 2) (Leeming, 2009, p. 403). Hari (1985) said that Re had "three forms" at Heliopolis: Re-Harakhty as the rising sun, Re as the midday sun, and Atum as the setting sun (p. 15).
Sobek (Sebek) was also equated to Horus as Sobek-Horus (Ragheb, 2023, para. 6-7). Horus is an interesting deity. There are two main versions of Horus: Horus the Elder (Heru-ur/Heruwer), and Horus the Younger (Budge, 1904, Vol. 1 pp. 467-468) (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Horus, para. 2). Horus the Elder was the son of Ra (Re) and Hathor, or Cronus-Seb and Rhea-Nut, and was the brother of Osiris. Horus the Elder "was the twin god of Set," and the Face of Horus that represented the day. Seth represented "the Face by night" of Horus. Seth and Horus were depicted as a single individual with the heads of both Seth and Horus. At Ombos, Horus the Elder was equated to the god Shu, who is also the son of Ra (Re). He also seems to have been equated to Amen (Amon), and other gods that represented the rising sun (Budge, 1904, Vol. 1 pp. 467-468, and 475). Budge goes on to say that Horus the Younger/the Child was also the rising sun. He has multiple forms. Most notably, he was Horus of Hebennu the son of Isis. This Horus was also equated to the god Anubis. Interestingly, one version of Horus the Younger, called Heru-behutet, is the creator god who "created himself" and the other gods. He also "rises with golden disk as the holy beetle of gold." This version of Horus the Younger was equated to Osiris, and fights Seth (p. 475). Eventually, Horus the Elder and Hebennu (Younger) were seen as the same individual (pp. 468-469, and 494). Encyclopaedia Britannica said that all of the different versions of Horus were the same individual (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Horus, para. 2). Horus, as the son of Isis and Osiris (Horus the Younger), is known for being the antagonist of Seth. This represented the struggle between Upper and Lower Egypt (para. 5). Horus to both Cronus, and Zeus. Horus was equated to the planet Saturn (Budge, 1904, Vol. 2 pp. 302-303) (Budge, 2004 [2013 edition], p. 244), or Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars (Budge, 2004 [2013 edition], p. 223) (Campion, 2012, p. 89). Horus was Cronus, Zerus, and Ares! Finally, Atum and Horus were equated in a hymn from "Spell 15 in The Book of the Dead" as "Atum-Horakhty." Atum-Horakhty was also equated to Re in the hymn (Campion, 2012, p. 88).
Atum was the god of Heliopolis (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Atum, para. 1) (Allen, 2016, p. 96). He was "'born in the Abyss (Primeval Waters) before the sky existed, before the earth existed.'" He was probably called "the spirit in the Primeval Waters." He is stated as having "no companion when my name came into existence." Atum also had various names, such as Horus, Ra, Amen, and Ptah (Talbott, 1980, pp. 11-12). The Primeval Waters, or "primordial waters of chaos," was the god Nun. Atum was 'one of the manifestations of the sun and creator god." He "engendered himself and the gods," and was "the setting sun." He was depicted "as an aged figure who had to be regenerated at night, to appear as Khepri at dawn and as Re during the sun's zenith." Atum was also assimilated into Re as "Re-Atum," along with the god Khepri (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Atum) (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Re) (Luckert, 1991, p 65). All of the Egyptian gods were emanations of Atum (Luckert, 1991, p. 129). Re, Horus (Heru-behutet), and Atum, had the same origin story.
Shu (bottom center) holding the sky goddess (above) from the earth god (below Shu) from the British Museum (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Shu):
Tem (Atum) was also stated to have had a trinity, made up of the gods Shu and Tefnut, based on "one tradition," (Budge, 1923, p. 58). The Egyptian god Shu is the god of the air/atmosphere/wind, and is the son of Atum/Ra-Atum-Khepra (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Shu) (Shorter, 2009, p. 7) (Budge, 1969 [2013 edition], p. 66) (Clair, 1898, pp. 141, 150, 207, and 314). It has also been stated that Shu presented the sun disk/Aten to Akhenaten when he became pharaoh (Budge, 1969 [2013 edition], p. 71). Shu was stated as being Aten, and the sun god Ra-Harakhte, as well (Studies in Biblical Theology, 1967 [1973 edition], p. 70) (Budge, 1969 [2013 edition], p. 71). Tem (Atum) came out of Nemu/Nu, but also "dwelt in the Solar Disk (Aten)," (Budge, 1923, p. 58). Both Atum and Shu were the sun disk. Shu was also the "supporter of heaven, the sun, and the moon" (Clair, 1898, p. 66). He separated the sky (Neith) and earth (Nu) from each other. Nu is the male god (p. 175). Jacob (2005) said that Ellil-Enlil is Shu (pp. 97 and 181). This would make Shu the Egyptian equivalent of Cronus, along with Atum. Tefnut was Shu's "sister and companion," and she was the "goddess of moisture," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Shu). Atum, Shu, and Tefnut, were a trinity in one tradition (Budge, 1923, p. 58). Interestingly, Shu was equated to Jesus "by Christian theologians." In fact, Atum was equated to the Father, Shu was equated to the Son, and Mahet was equated to the Holy Spirit (Luckert, 1991, p. 50). As stated before, Horus (Horus the Elder) was equated to Shu as well.
Khepri was "the god of the morning sun," is "an aspect of the sun god Re," and is symbolized by the scarab beetle (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Khepri, para. 1). The scarab was also a symbol of Yahavah (Ea) in Judea. Taylor (1993) said that there were sun emblems with "lmlk" on Judean jar handles. The emblems are a sun disk with two wings, and a "four-winged scarab," (p. 20). Interestingly enough, Khepri was considered to be a creator god whose story equates with Atum's. Khepri "arose from the primeval chaos, Nun, and created the universe." In another version of that story, Re created the universe as Khepri. After the creation of the universe, Khepri fathered the gods Shu and Tefnut "with his own shadow," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Khepri, para. 4). No wonder Khepri was equated to Atum. As stated previously, the beetle was also the symbol of Horus (Heru-behutet).
In Tablet 1 of the Enuma Elish, Enki kills the "progenitor" father god Apsu, and lives inside him. Apsu is the "deified underground waters," (Horowitz, 1998, pp. 109-111). This coincides with Ea being the "Lord of Apsu-Abzu" (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Ea, para. 2). Apsu is the underground water, and Nun was the primordial waters. Nun is also stated to be the "father of Re, the sun god," and "he represented the waters of chaos out of which Re-Atum began creation," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Nun). Enki created man by using a creature and the clay of the abyss (Kramer, 1944 [1961 edition], Ch. 2, pp. 69-70). Enki lives inside Apsu, and Atum lives inside Nun. Enki mother was also Nammu, "the primeval sea" (Kramer, 1944 [1961 edition], Ch. 2, pp. 69-70). Atum is the setting sun. Ea-Enki was also the setting sun (Jacob, 2005, pp. 164-165, 181-182). Jacob also stated that Enki, and Atum-Re/Amun created through masturbation (p. 167). Horus (Heru-behutet) "created the deep that it might serve as a place wherein to hide his body." He also comes "from the abyss of Nu" with the help of Nephthys, and Isis (Budge, 1904, Vol. 1 p. 475). Ea, and Atum-Re-Khepri-Horus, are the same god.
Atum was even equated to the Christian god "by Christian theologians." Atum was equated to the Father, Shu was equated to the Son, and Mahet was equated to the Holy Spirit (Luckert, 1991, p. 50).
There were "four main creator deities" in Egypt: "Amun, Atum, Khnum, and Ptah," (Allen, 2016, p. 96). We've already talked about Atum, so let's focus on the next three deities.

Part 2: Other Gods Equated to Atum:
Gold-plated silver figure of Amun-Ra (The British Museum):Amon, also spelled as Ammon, Amun, Amen, and Amana, was the "king of the gods." He was "identified with the sun god Re," and became "Amon-Re." Amon-Re was personified as a human "sometimes with a ram's head," or just "as a ram." Amon means "the Hidden One, and his image was painted blue to denote invisibility." Aside from Re, Amon was equated to Ptah. The three gods either "formed a triad," or Re and Ptah became "manifestations" of Amon. Amon "was linked to Jupiter," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Amon). Amun, Re, and Ptah, were equated in "the Leiden Hymn to Amun-Re," (Rea, 2020, Vol. 1 p. 175). Amun, or Amun-Ra, was Baal Hammon in Carthage and Zeus in Greece. Both gods were "depicted with ram's horns," (Thomas, 2019; in Thomas and Alanamu, 2019, p. 45) (Cook, 1914, Vol. 1 pp. 348-349). In other words, Amon was the god of the Ammonites! Baal Hammon "is shown as a bearded old man wearing ram's horns on his head," and is represented as a bull in the Canaanite religion (Coulter and Turner, 2000 [2013 edition], p. 87). In Thebes, Amen-Ra was called "Zeus Thebaieus" (Cook, 1914, Vol. 1 pp. 347-348, and 387). Amon was both Cronus and Zeus, once again showing that those two gods were really one entity. As mentioned before, Horus (Horus the Elder) was equated to Amon at Ombos.
Both Enki, and Atum-Re/Amun, masturbated in order to create (Jacob, 2005, p. 167). Jesus was also "Jupiter Ammon"/"Jupiter-Ammon," according to Rev. Taylor (1833 [1996 edition]). Rev. Taylor also said that "both Jupiter, Ammon, and God Ammon, and Jesus Christ, Amen, are personifications of the Sun, who is Jupiter, in the Spring; Christ, in Summer; Jesus, in Autumn; and Amen, in Winter," (p. 276). Ammon is Amen, and saying the name of this god at the end of our prayers equates him to Jesus. In fact, Ammon is one of Jesus' names (p. 187). In other words, Jesus is Zeus! Adonis-Dionysus was also the Autumn sun (Brown, 1877, Vol. 1 p. 47). In Revelations 3, Amen is an actual entity. He is "the faithful and true Witness, the Origin of the Creation of God." Amen is talking to John here. He also said that he "sat with My Father on His Throne," (Revelation 3:14 and 21). However, John called Jesus the "faithful witness" (Revelation 1:5). It seems that Amen is the one who appeared to John at the beginning of Revelation. Amen said that he "was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore," (Revelation 1:18). Jesus also sat on the right hand of God, as we've stated before. He also died, and rose from the dead. Jesus was also depicted as a lamb (or ram). In the Gospel of John, Jesus is called "the lamb of God" by John the Baptist (John 1:29 and 35-36). In Revelation 5, Jesus is described as "a Lamb standing, as if slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth," (Revelation 5:5-10). Jesus also calls himself Amen in the gospels (Mark 13:30 [Interlinear], John 8:51 [Int.], etc.). Jesus Christ is Amon.

2.) Ptah-Osiris:
Ptah statuette holding the emblems of life and power (600-100 B.C.) from the British Museum (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Ptah):
To my surprise, Ea was equated to a god named Kothar wa Hasis. Jones (2009) said that, while Ea and El have similarities, Ea is "explicitly identified [...] with Kothar wa-Hasis." This is "In the Syrian and Canaanite pantheon lists," (p. 84; note 248). In the trilingual WGL god list from Ugarit, Ea, with his names spelled as Aya and Eyan, was Kotaru/Kothar (Tugendhaft, 2016; in Grafton and Most, 2016, p. 173; p. 175 Table 8.1; p. 180). Kothar, or Kothar-wa-Hasis/Khasis, is the "ancient West Semitic god of crafts, equivalent to the Greek god Hephaestus." He was equated to "the Egyptian god Ptah," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Kothar). Hephaestus was the Greek "god of fire." He was called Vulcan in Rome. He was the son of Hera and Zeus, and "A blacksmith and craftsman." He was symbolized by the "volcanic or gaseous fires," which "were often considered to be his workshops," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Hephaestus). The Egyptian god Ptah was a "creator-god and maker of things, a patron of craftsman, especially sculptors," and "a mortuary god" that was represented as a mummy. He was equated to Hephaestus-Vulcan, and he was equated to Seker-Soker and Osiris "to form Ptah-Seker-Osiris." Ptah also had a bull called Apis, which "was called a manifestation of the god who gave oracles." Ptah was the god of Memphis, the capitol of Egypt (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Ptah) (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Memphis, para. 1).
Aside from being Zeus' son, Hephaestus-Vulcan was Zeus himself. Sanchoniatho said that Hephaestus-Vulcan, also called Chysor, was called Zeus Michius. The name Zeus Michius was also spelled as Diamichius. Zeus Michius means "Machinator, the great inventor or engineer," (Phoenician History [Rev. Cumberland, 1720, translation], p. 26). Mushet (1837) said that "Sol (or Helios), Saturn, Jupiter (surnamed Ammon) , and Vulcan, were all one; being titles of the chief deity,-the sun," (pp. 235-236). Finally, Smith (2020) said that Kothar and El could be "differentiations of the wise god, Ea-Enki, and possibly as divine instantiations of their very names." The same could be said for "Baal, Yamm, and Mot, as well as Shapshu and Yarih," (in Ferrara and Huffmon, 2020, p. 49 note 115). This is true, as we have already seen that El (Enlil) and Ea were the same god. Vernon-Harcourt (1838) said that "Phtha," written as "Ptah" in Coptic, is "pater" in Latin and is "father" in English (Vol. 1 p. 365). Massey (1907) said that "Ptah-Tanan" was "Dis pater, the Demiurge." He is the "god of Hades," (Vol. 2 p. 636). Churchward (1924 [2000 edition]) said the same thing (p. 349). This equates Ptah with Dyeus (Hades-Pluto). Acharya S (1999) said that Ptah is Dyaus Pitar/Zeus Pateras, and Pitar and Ptah lead to "'pater,' or 'father,'" (p. 179). Mackenzie (1917) said that the "mountain god" became Thor, Tarku-Teshub, Indra, Zeus, and Ptah. Ptah created the potter's wheel, on which he created the sun, moon, and mankind. He also had a hammer, which is the same hammer that the "Hittite father god" had. It caused thunder (pp. xxvii-xxviii, and 171). The Hittite father god was Teshub-Adad. This means that Ptah (and Ea) was Zeus! Leisegang (1955) also said that Ptah had the hammer (in Campbell, 1955 [1978 edition], Vol. 2 p. 257).
The Lord's Prayer also originated from Ptah. "Pater Noster," or "Ptah Noster," means "Our Father," and Ptah means "Father" (Glorian, The Prayer of the Lord).
Ptah means "Father" (Glorian, The Prayer of the Lord, Ptah, para. 4-5):
In a "text from Memphis," Ptah is called "'Ptah of the Earth. The Mother giving birth to Atum' (line 14)," (Churchward, 1924, pp. 241-242). "Ptah of the Earth" sounds like "Lord of the Earth," the title of Ea and Poseidon. "Ptah of the Earth" could also be translated as "Father of the Earth." Ptah also being a "mother" makes him both male and female. Ptah being the father of Atum equates Atum to Adam. I've already discussed this in my "Were Adam and Eve Real?" post.
Ptah was also the "rising sun," (Budge, 1904 [1969 edition], Vol. 1 p. 500) (Leisegang, 1955; in Campbell, 1955 [1978 edition], Vol. 2 p. 257). This firmly equates Ea-Ptah with Zeus-Adad-Baal Samen.
Aside from Asar/Osiris (Ptah-Asar/Ptah-Osiris/Ptah-Seker-Asar) and Seker (Ptah-Seker/Ptah-Seker-Osiris), other gods that were equated to Ptah are Nu (Ptah-Nu), Tem (Ptah-Seker-Tem), and Tanen (Ptah-Tanen) (Budge, 1904, Vol. 1 p. 502). Tem is Atum (Budge, 1923, p. 58). Ptah was equated to Atum.
Osiris, also called Usiri and Usir, is "one of the most important gods of ancient Egypt." In the Egyptian religion, Osiris was killed by Seth. One version of this story ended with Osiris "reincarnated" as the god "Apis." Osiris was "a personification of chthonic (underworld) fertility," and "the embodiment of the dead and resurrected king." The "holy bull," called "Apis, was linked with Osiris, becoming Osiris-Apis." This god would later be called "Serapis" in the Hellenistic period. Osiris was also equated to Dionysus, and Soker (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Osiris) (Coulter and Turner, 2000 [2021 edition], p. 367). Cook (1914) said that "Sarapis was originally the Babylonian god Ea," and that the original title "sar apsi" meant "'King of the Ocean, King of the Deep Sea,'" (Vol. 1 p. 188 note 2). As stated previously, Apis was Ptah's bull.
Osiris has also been equated to another deity called Asher, or Asshur. In the Tanakh, Yahavah said to Moses "I am that I am" (Exodus 3:14 [Interlinear]). The word "asher" apparently means "that" (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 834. asher), or is usually translated as "'who, that, which'" (Propp, 1998, endnote 3). However, Propp (1998) said that asher might be the name of the god Asher, also called Asshur, who is also Osiris. Asherah is the wife of Asher, just as Elah is Asherah's name when she is married to El. Therefore, Exodus 3:14 should be translated as "I am Asher, I am." Another interesting word in the Tanakh is ashrey, which is the "majestic dual of 'Asher" (endnote 3):

3.) Khnum:
Khnum (sitting) from the Valley of the Queens in Thebes, Egypt (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Khnum):
Khnum was first worshipped in Herwer, but he was later “the great god of Elephantine,” (Cook, 1914, Vol. 1 p. 346) (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Khnum). YH/YHW/YHWH/Yahu (Ieu) was also worshipped in a temple on Elephantine Island (Cornell, 2019, para. 3) (Schipper, 2020, The Persian Period, 5.4: Egypt and the "Jewish/Arameans" of Elephantine) (Kent, 2020, p. 12) (Meyersohn, 2023, The Arrival: Assembly of the seven was described in the Book of Genesis), which is in Nubia (Pope, 2016, p. 106). Interestingly, the Hebrews there were Judeans that were polytheistic. The goddess Anat was worshipped there, and the name “Anat-Yahu” was found in an Aramaic document from the island (Cornell, 2019, para. 4-5) (Schipper, 2020, The Persian Period, 5.4: Egypt and the "Jewish/Arameans" of Elephantine). The Judeans there lived alongside other ethnic people, like Egyptians and Aramaeans (Cornell, 2019, para. 2) (Schipper, 2020, The Persian Period, 5.4: Egypt and the "Jewish/Arameans" of Elephantine). Yahavah was worshipped alongside the other male gods “Khnum, Sati, Bel, Nabu, Shamash, and Nergal,” (Schipper, 2020, The Persian Period, 5.4: Egypt and the "Jewish/Arameans" of Elephantine). The Judeans living there seemed to have shared the same religious practices with Khnum’s worshippers (Meyersohn, 2023, The Arrival: Assembly of the seven was described in the Book of Genesis). One example is that Khnum made man out of clay or dust, just like Yahavah did in Genesis (Hillel, 2006, p. 94) (Genesis 2:7).
Khnum creating man out of clay, like Yahavah (Ea) did (Hillel, 2006, p. 94):

Seth/Khnum/Amun bronze statue (University of Pennsylvania, Discentes, 2023, Figure 9):
In some Egyptian writings, Seth, Baal Haddu (Adad), and El Elyon, had been described as sending storms and diseases on the Egyptians when they were defeating the Hyksos. In the In the Rhind Papyrus and Tempest stele, Seth/Baal Haddu is said to have sent a storm, or storms, during the Theban campaign and rule of Pharaoh Ahmose. In the Hearst Medical Papyrus, El Elyon was blamed for sending a disease ("black skin lesions") upon the Egyptians. This disease was blamed upon the Western Semites as well (Weinstein, 2021, Native Egyptian Overthrow of the Hyksos 15th Dynasty: 3. Natural Disasters). Baal Haddu was also Hadad, and Adad (Fant and Reddish, 2008, pp. 81-82). Adad, Seth, and El Elyon, both caused a storm, or storms, and a disease, to fall upon the Egyptians on behalf of the Hyksos. As stated before, Enlil (El Shadday and El Elyon) was Seth.
Seth on magical gem; intaglio (British Museum, magical gem; intaglio):Gem from Litwa (2019) (P. 32 Figure 1.2):As stated before, Horus was Saturn. Seth being Horus equates him to Saturn as well, along with Jupiter and Mars. This supports Seth being El ('l/Enlil), and Adad. Horus was also the rising sun, which makes Seth the rising sun. Seth was also equated to the setting sun. Seth is associated with the color "red, for this is the last hue of the setting sun," (Forlong, 1906, Vol. 3 p. 53). Forlong also stated that the donkey was a symbol of the sun. Seth, Osiris, and "Assyrian demons," are represented by the donkey as well (p. 44). Seth being the setting sun equates him to Atum. Seth was both Cronus, Zeus, and Ares. Interestingly, Seth was equated to the planet Mercury (Budge, 1904, Vol. 2 p. 303) (Budge, 2004 [2013 edition], p. 244). As we already know, Hermes is Mercury. Thoth, the Egyptian name of Hermes, was a name given to Seth/Set spelled as "Tet." In Phoenicia, he was Taaut/Esmun-Esculapius the snake god. Seth, Thoth/Tet/Taaut, Saturn, and El/Il, were the same deity (Wake, 1870, pp. 211-213) (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Thoth, para. 2). Bonwick (1878) said that Seth was equated to Thoth "In the sacred writings," (pp. 132-133). We know that Nabu, who is Mercury in the Middle East, was also Ea. This confirms Seth as being Ea, and Saturn. Thoth was the moon god (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Thoth, para. 1), which means that Seth (and Ea) was also a moon god. In total, Seth was the sun, Saturn-Uranus, Jupiter-Neptune, Mars-Pluto, Mercury, and the moon. This is very similar, if not identical, to Ea in the Middle East. Then again, Iaw/Iao is another spelling of the name Ea (also spelled Ia/Eau/Iau). This means that Ea is Seth.
