Description

She is the godess of the night Nut

Nut was the goddess of the sky and all heavenly bodies, a symbol of resurrection and rebirth. According to the Egyptians, the heavenly bodies—such as the sun—would be swallowed, traverse the inside of her belly through the night, and be reborn out of her uterus at dawn. She was the sky goddess, in contrast to most other mythologies, which usually evolve into a sky father associated with an earth mother. She was pictured as a woman arched on her toes and fingertips over the earth—her body, a star-filled sky. Nut’s fingers and toes were believed to touch the four cardinal points or directions.
