Ancient peoples linked the magic of this parcel of new life to creation itself, believing that the world was formed from a cosmic egg. Such an egg features in the ancient beliefs of India, Egypt, Greece and Phenicia. In one account, Brahma, the Hindu creator, appeared from a golden egg that floated in universal waters while Chronos, the Greek personification of Time, produced an egg from which the world's creator emerged.

In Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime the egg was a symbol of light. When Dinewan the Emu quarrelled with Brolga the dancing bird, Brolga angrily grabbed an egg from Dinewan's nest and launched it into the sky. The people struck wood, caught fire and was transformed into a dazzling sun that illuminated a hitherto dark world.
