In another version of creation, Nun again existed as nothingness. But this time, within Nun the goddess Neith stirred. Neith turned herself into a fishthen she turned herself into a cow. As the first living being, Neith took on many forms. As her first act, Neith created Egypt. She made the land out of joy. She separated the night from the day.
