"Facsimile copy of Nut, the sky goddess and the solar barques of Ra, plate 20b from 'Pantheon Egyptien'" is a significant work by the French scholar and linguist Jean-François Champollion, known primarily for deciphering the Rosetta Stone and pioneering Egyptology. Published in 1822 as part of his larger work "Pantheon Egyptien," this plate is an intricate reproduction of ancient Egyptian religious iconography, depicting the goddess Nut arched across the sky with the solar barques of the sun god Ra.

Nut, in Egyptian mythology, is the goddess of the sky and the heavens, often portrayed as a woman arching over the earth, her body adorned with stars. She is a pivotal figure in Egyptian cosmology, embodying the sky itself and serving as the barrier between the chaos of the waters of Nun and the ordered world of the living. The solar barques, on the other hand, represent the vessels in which Ra, the sun god, traverses the sky by day and the underworld by night, reflecting the cycle of the sun and the concept of rebirth and regeneration.

Champollion's facsimile is a testament to his meticulous study of Egyptian art and religion, capturing the essence of ancient Egyptian beliefs and the complexity of their divine iconography. His work in "Pantheon Egyptien" was instrumental in providing a systematic interpretation of Egyptian mythology and iconography to the Western world. The publication of this facsimile and others in the series marked a significant advancement in the understanding of Egyptian civilization and its rich cultural heritage.

The plate, numbered 20b, is part of a collection that sought to catalogue and explain the pantheon of Egyptian gods and goddesses, serving as a visual and scholarly resource for academics and enthusiasts alike. Champollion's dedication to the accuracy and detail in his reproductions has made "Pantheon Egyptien" a valuable historical document, offering insights into the religious life of ancient Egypt and contributing to the foundation of modern Egyptology.
