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.
