Mojave Desert and Death Valley, Natural Wonders, Susan Newcomer 1978

Nowhere is this better demonstrated than in one of the most famous myths about him, the origin of the Epagomenal Days. You likely know the story – Ra had forbidden the very pregnant sky goddess Nut from giving birth on any of the then-360 days of the year, and Djehuty decided to help her out. He did this by challenging the moon to a tournament of Senet, with the condition that every time he won, the moon had to give him a portion of its light. Eventually, he had enough moonlight to create five extra days for the year. Now, you should keep in mind that Senet is a strategy-based game … and Djehuty is the god of wisdom. It was practically a foregone conclusion that he would win, and the moon probably knew that too. (Although, as this story demonstrates, Djehuty is not the same thing /as/ the moon, he is very much associated /with/ the moon. So presumably this was not the first time they’d met!) How could Djehuty have possibly gotten the moon to agree to such a thing? Easy. By making sure the moon thought he had absolutely no ulterior motives, he was totally innocent, he’d probably let the moon win.

Nebt-het (Nebet-het, Nephthys) is an Ancient Egyptian goddess associated with mourning, death and the dead, protection, temples, and night/darkness. She is frequently depicted as a kite, as this bird of prey has a loud, piercing screech that sounds like a cry of mourning. She is a dedicated protector in both life and after death. May Nebt-het watch over all the people murdered by white supremacy. Black Lives Matter.

She gets to eat first :>
