Jusaas

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jusaas is an ancient Egyptian goddess who, in the form of a theological construction, personifies the "hand of God" with which Atum created the world from himself. That is why she was venerated as a companion of Atum. According to another report iusaaset walked out of the apex of the earth god Geb forth. The goddess Jusaas was depicted as a woman with a scarab on her head.
