The Milky Way and the Goddess Nut 🌌⁠
⁠
Long before astronomers understood the structure of our galaxy, people incorporated this pale band of stars into their stories about the sky. In ancient Egypt, it may have been associated with Nut, the goddess who embodied the heavens. 👩‍🦳⁠
⁠
Nut was often depicted as a woman arching over the Earth, sometimes with stars covering her body. Her form resembles the Milky Way as it spans the sky from horizon to horizon. According to Egyptian mythology, she swallowed the Sun in the west every evening and gave birth to it again in the east each morning. ☀️🌙⁠
⁠
A recent study of ancient Egyptian coffins and tombs found another intriguing connection. One depiction of Nut contains a thick, wavy dark line running across her star-covered body. Researchers suggest that it may represent the Great Rift — the same dark dust lane we can observe across the Milky Way today.⁠
⁠
💬 What do you think — did the ancient Egyptians depict the Milky Way, or does Nut simply represent the starry sky as a whole?⁠
