| Goddess Nut |
Goddess Nut, in Egyptian faith, a goddess of the sky, vault of the spheres, often described as a woman bowed over the earth
God Geb. Most cultures of regions where there is rain be the sky as masculine, the rain being the seed which fructifies Mother Earth. In Egypt, however, rain plays no office in fertility; all the useful water is on the earth (from the Nile River). Egyptian faith is unique in the genders of its deities of earth and sky. As the goddess of the sky, Nut withdrew the sun in the evening and gave birth to it again in the morning.
Nut was also described as a cow, for this was the form she taken order to express the sun
God Ra on her back to the sky. On five special days previous the New Year, Nut gave birth successively to the divinities
Osiris,
Horus,
Seth, Isis, and Nephthys. These deities, with the exclusion of Horus, were usually named to as the children of Nut.
