In Egyptian creation myths, the god known as the god of the wind is often referred to as Shu. He represents air and light, playing a crucial role in the balance of the universe. As the son of the primordial deities Nun and Nuit, Shu is responsible for separating the sky from the earth, facilitating creation. His name signifies the gentle breeze, symbolizing life and vitality within the Egyptian cosmology. Worship of Shu reflects humanity’s reverence for air and its connection to sustenance and the natural world in ancient Egyptian culture.
