Nut was the Egyptian goddess of the sky, stars, cosmos, mothers, astronomy, and the universe. She is seen as a great mother, having given birth to some of the most important gods of ancient Egyptian times. In a way, Nut reverses a common tradition in many cultures where the sky is associated with a male god, and the earth with a female one. In Egyptian mythology, the god of the earth is male, with Nut as his counterpart.
