Nut - the Egyptian Sky Goddess

One of my personal favorites of the ancient Egyptian pantheon is Nut the sky goddess.


There are various versions of Nut myths and manifestations, but my favorite is the one that depicts Nut as a giant blue cow standing over us (i.e. the sky).

The image below (public domain) depicts Nut the cow. The gentleman supporting her underbelly is Shu the god of air.

Nut was also the mother of Osiris, Seth, and some of the other major ancient Egyptian deities.
