  10. Nut Nut is the sky goddess. She has four children: Osiris, Set, Isis and Nephthys. Nut is said to be the oldest god in the Egyptian pantheon. The pot on her head symbolizes the uterus. Nut explains how the sun can rise in the East and set in the west. In Nut’s had is an ankh, which symbolizes life. The ankh is also called the “breath of life,” “the key of the Nile” and the “crux ansata” (cross with a handle).

  11. Anubis: god of the Dead In Egypt, jackals were often found near grave yards. That’s why Anubis, the jackal, was determined to be the “god of the dead.”

  12. Seth Seth (or Set) is the god of storms, chaos and war. Seth is the usurper, who killed and mutilated his own brother, Osiris. Iris, Osiris’s wife reassembled Osiris’s corpse and resurrected him long enough to conceive his son and heir, Horas.

  13. Horus Horus, the hawk, had great vision because he flew so high. Faces in Egyptian art tend to be profiles, but with the eye facing forward. This is the eye of Horus, the all-seeing eye.

  14. Uraeus (the Rearing Cobra) • Some Egyptian pharaohs had the Uraeus (rearing cobra) on their headresses. • This was another all-seeing eye, that was awake even when the pharaohs were asleep.
