bas-relief technique on canvas 100x70 cm Notes about this: It is said that in principle there was Nun, Chaos uncontrolled, which is liquid and turbulent, not created. Nun emerged from a small hill from which Atum came. These gave birth to Shu (the air) and Tefnut (the wet). The latter if they were always united and prevent the sprouting of life, thus Atum ordered their father, Shu, to divide them. With your hands Shu Nut pushed them upwards to form the heavens and trampled with his feet by holding Geb lying. In this way, the air separated heaven from earth. Geb and Nut, in turn, generated four children: Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nefta.
