oh the tuat/duat/amduat=abzu.
abzu is in the underworld but isn't the underworld itself. it
connects the otherworld (underworld) to this world and otherworlds.
it's the gate of the gods, which is why gods are born from it--emerge
from it.
abzu is not underground "water", nor is it overground water.
consider that the e.abzu is rebuilt in "enmerkar and the lord of arrata"
and that this is synonymous with babilu (babel), which is "gate of the gods" or more precisely chaos gate of the gods. the nun. the void.
it's all the same thing. anyway, a slightly different topic.

notice how they're talked about both positively and negatively? most likely because they connect to different places, either figuratively or literally.

is an interesting statement. in one of the many versions of the legend of the destruction of mankind, RA sends out his EYE in the form of HATHOR and then SEKHMET. this seems like it's saying the eye of ra is hathor on one side/end and sekhmet on the other. like 2 gates with a tunnel between: hathor gate at one end, sekhmet gate on the other, and just like the great bull of heaven, they destroy planet(s), first like a giant vacuum cleaner, then like a giant faucet. i considered sekhmet was the name of the gate on earth and hathor the name of the other gate, not on earth. considering her headdress is a red disk, i considered the possibility that the red disk was mars and not the sun, afterall. that's getting into very heavy hypotheticals, of course.
