Celestial Goddess Nut's Cosmic Embrace, Ancient Egyptian Papyrus Art Painting, Goddess of The Sky & Heavens, Bedroom Wall Art, 17x13 Inches

One of the oldest goddesses in Egyptian mythology is Nut, the goddess of the sky (nut means "sky" in the ancient Egyptian language). It was believed that the sky was actually a star-covered naked woman arching over the earth in a plank or perhaps down dog position. Some of her titles include Mistress of All, She Who Holds a Thousand Souls, and She Who Protects.

The ancient Egyptian sky goddess Nut is known from a legend that says her body created a vault or canopy over the earth. She appears in scenes and iconography as a woman whose body arches across the sky, wearing a dress adorned with stars. Mother is said to have been the mother of Isis, Osiris. Nephthys, and Seth, and she was the wife and sister of the god of the earth, Geb. A popular myth associated with the goddess Nut in ancient Egypt is that Nut swallowed the sun god Ra at the end of the day and gave birth to him again the next morning. The birth of Nut's children is said to coincide with the five epagomenal days of the year, and each of these five days was celebrated in Egypt each year.
