"Mother Nature" . ) Some of the titles of Nut were: - Coverer of the Sky: Nut was said to be covered in stars touching the different points of her body. - She Who Protects: Among her jobs was to envelop and protect Ra , the sun god. [7] - Mistress of All or "She who Bore the Gods": Originally, Nut was said to be laying on top of Geb (Earth) and continually having intercourse . During this time she birthed four children: Osiris , Isis , Set , and Nephthys [8] A fifth child named Arueris is mentioned by Plutarch . [9] He was the Egyptian counterpart to the Greek god Apollo , who was made syncretic with Horus in the Hellenistic era as 'Horus the Elder'. [10] The Ptolemaic temple of Edfu is dedicated to Horus the Elder and there he is called the son of Nut and Geb , brother of Osiris , and eldest son of Geb . [11] - She Who Holds a Thousand Souls: Because of her role in the re-birthing of Ra every morning and in her son Osiris's resurrection, Nut became a key god in many of the myths about the after-life. [7] en.wikipedia.org A sacred symbol of Nut was the ladder, used by Osiris to enter her heavenly skies. This ladder-symbol was called maqet and was placed in tombs to protect the deceased, and to invoke the aid of the deity of the dead. Nut is considered an enigma in the world of mythology because she is direct contrast to most other mythologies, which usually evolve into a sky father associated with an earth mother or Mother Nature .
