Book of the Heavenly Cow

Book of the Heavenly Cow

The Book of the Heavenly Cow, or the Book of the Cow of Heaven, is an Ancient Egyptian text which, in part, describes the reasons for the imperfect state of the world in terms of humankind's rebellion against the supreme sun god, Ra. Divine punishment was inflicted through the goddess Hathor, with the survivors suffering through separation from Ra, who now resided in the sky on the back of Nut, the heavenly cow.
