Guardian of Tomb
Nephthys was an ancient goddess, who was referenced in texts dating back to the Old Kingdom. She was a member of the Ennead of Heliopolis as the daughter of Geb and Nut and the sister of Osiris, Isis and Horus and the sister and wife of Set. When the Ennead and Ogdoad merged, Nephthys was given a place on Ra´s boat so that she could accompany him on his journey through the underworld. Nephthys is the Greek pronunciation of her name. To the Egyptians she was Nebthwt (Nebhhwt or Nebthet) meaning The Mistress of the House She was described as the head of the household of the gods and was thought to extend her protection to the head female of every household. She was sometimes associated with Ptah-Tanen in representing Lower Egypt, while Khnum and Isis represented Upper Egypt
