Continuing on the series of Nuit (act 2)
Nuits story included love and tragedy being separated from her love Geb god of the earth by Shu the god of air.
Nut/Nuit is the Egyptian goddess of the visible sky. She is imagined as the personification of the Milky Way which can be observed at the northern hemisphere night sky. Depicted on all fours arching her back upward in a “covering” position.
Her body is the embodiment of the night sky. Her body projects the stars. Her body reflects our ability to use observation and storytelling as a scientific method to make sense of the phenomena around us.
The science of astronomy plays a role in the religious and socialization comprehension of ancient Egypt. Specific mythological events that are documented in relationship with specific astrological events are only a few. Therefore the accuracy of Nut astronomical relationship with the mythological narrative is the more remarkable and a testimony to the observational and scientific standings of the Egyptian times.
