Abstract
One of the well known images in the iconography of ancient Egypt is the Nut, Shu, Geb scene. In this paper
the author used the “solar cosmological interpretation” (SCI) to enforce the perception of this scene as a depiction of the
process of creation. The method of SCI implies the use of the deductive approach to establish the kemetic cosmological
argument (KCA) and the pre-suppositional use of the systematic natural theology that the KCA constitutes to correlate
and enforce the Nut, Shu, Geb scene as a cosmogonical and cosmological depiction; the correlation thus established
between the KCA and the NSGS extends the scientific nature of the former to the later and evidences that the Nut, Shu,
Geb scene is not only the depiction of the origin of the temporal universe, but also a pictorial explanation of the nature of
our universe.
