"What is this?" asked Nut.
And so she came to be there in both the heavens.

The majesty of this god said~
"Stay far away from them!
Lift me up! Look at me !"
And so she became the sky.

Then the majesty of this god was visible within her. She said~
"If only you would provide me with a multitude!"
And so the Milky Way came into being.

His majesty, Ankh, Udja, Seneb, said~
"Peaceful is the field here."
And so the Field of Offerings came into being.
