| | Egypt: Gods - The Gods of Heliopolis |
 | | Shu and his female counterpart Tefnut may be considered together, at all events in the texts of the later periods. |
 | | An examination of the texts shows that Shu was a god of light, or light personified, who made himself manifest in the beams of the sun by day, and in the light of the moon by night, and his home was the disk of the sun. |
 | | Shu was, in fact, the god of the space which filled with the atmosphere, even as Ra, was the god of the heaven, and Seb the god of the earth, and Osiris the god of the Underworld. |
