-- Great He-she (
coffin texts I, 161:ff​)







 (coffin texts I, 161:ff​)
I am Atum, the creator of the Eldest Gods,
I am he who gave birth to Shu,
I am that great He-She,
I am he who did what seemed good to him,
I took my space in the place of my will,
Mine is the space of those who move along,
like those two serpentine circles.
