Shu
Shu was the solar deity; son of Ra and
Hathor. Shu was the god of light and air who supported the sky.
A three-god tableau portrays creation. Re, solar father of
Nut, the sky, decides to put a stop to her continual embracing of
Geb, the earth. Re slips Shu, the god of air, between them, thus making space.
But Nut managed to have children, including
Osiris.
