The sky goddess Nute
This picture is found in the tomb of king Ramsis the fourth in
Luxour and it is painted on the roof. This picture has two versions:
1- A single one
2- A double one
Inside a single one according to the ancient Egyptians belief, she
used to Swallow the sun when the night comes and it moves inside the
goddess belly till a new day will come ,this means the birth of a
new day and these figures inside represent every thing regarding
astronomy.
The only difference between the two pictures is that the single one
represent the day only but the double one represents the day and
night. Back
