Encyclopedia: Duat |
 | | The Duat was pictured on the ceilings of tombs and lids of sarcophagi as the star spangled body of the goddess Nut, the mother of Osiris. |
 | | As the goddess of the Duat, she is seen swallowing the Sun in the west and giving birth to it in the east, her hands and feet resting on the western and eastern horizons. |
 | | As the sun journeys from the Duat to the Akhet, the king's ba travels from the sarcophagus chamber to the antechamber, the architectural counterpart of the Akhet. |
