The Duat

It is the Hereafter.
Pictorially, it is pictured as a star inscribed in a circle.
This proves the doctrine of a celestial (stellar) hereafter preceding the doctrine of Osiris (earthly).
The pictures of this divinity are extremely rare. One of them can be seen on Sethi I ’s sarcophagus, in an image dedicated to the final part of the ritual “The book of the doors”
The divinity shapes her body into a circle. Its feet touch its head from behind. With the hands it bears the goddess Nut, who stands holding the solar disc on her head.
