Naunet Egyptian Mythology
 

In Egyptian mythology, Nu (also spelt Nun), is the deification of the primordial watery abyss, in the Ogdoad cosmogony, the name meaning abyss. Due to being a concept, Nu was viewed as androgynous, his female form being named Naunet (also spelt Nunet), which is simply the female form of the word Nu. Like the others of the 4 primordial concepts of the Ogdoad, Nu's male form was depicted as a frog, or a frog-headed man, and Nu's female form was pictured as a snake, or a snake-headed woman.

In art, Nu also appears as a bearded man, with blue-green skin, representing water. Like the other ogdoad concepts, Nu did not have temples, or worship, however, Nu was sometimes represented by a sacred lake, or, as at Abydos, by an underground stream.

He is depicted with upraised arms holding a "solar bark" (or barque; a boat). It is occupied by 8 gods; with the scarab god Khepher standing in the middle surrounded by the other 7. Other groupings include Nun & Naunet, Amun & Amaunet, Heh & Hauhet, Kek & kauket
