In Egyptian cosmological thought, the universe is bounded above by a celestial counterpart to Nun's waters, and Naunet personifies this upper water-boundary. As a pair, Nun and Naunet represent the totality of the primordial undifferentiated water \u2014 below and above, the boundless abyss in all directions \u2014 before the moment of creation. Like all female members of the Ogdoad, Naunet is depicted with a serpent's head rather than a human head (while the male members have frog heads), a convention that expresses their connection to the primordial, pre-creation state. Naunet's role is almost entirely cosmological; she appears primarily in texts describing the Ogdoad's primordial state rather than in narratives involving her individually. The Coffin Texts attest to the Ogdoad's role in \"breathing life into the two Lands\" upon the first sunrise, with Naunet part of the generative watery principle.
