Accepted answer
This is an incomplete answer so far. Any additions and suggestions are welcome.
- Heliopolis myth is based upon the excerpt from The Bremner-Rhind Papyrus known as The Book of Knowing of the Creations of Ra. English translation available online.
- Memphis myth is based upon The Shabaka Stone. English translation available online.
- Hermopolis myth is compiled from the scattered fragments of The Book of the Dead and The Coffin Texts.
- Thebes myth is known by some late compilative papyrus of times of the Ptolemaic dynasty which title I was unable to find out.
