Nun

Back ]

Nun was like an ocean that never lost water and kept on going.  Even after the world was created, Nun continued to rest and would someday return and flush Egypt away with water.  Then Nun would rebuild Egypt again.  Nun protected Shu and Tefnut at birth because there were evil spirits looking for them.

Nun was pictured as a bearded man with a blue or green body as a symbol of water and fertility.  Sometimes Nun was showed as a woman.  In one hand Nun holds palm leaves and has another one in her hair.
