ABSTRACT
In the Book of Gates the First Division is depicted in a different manner. The Boat of the Sun-God is seen passing through the mountain of the horizon, which is divided into two parts, the god appears in the form of a beetle within a disk, which is surrounded by a serpent with voluminous folds. The only gods with him in the boat are SA and Heka, here the personifications of the intelligence and the word of power. For the sake of convenience, in describing the various divisions of the Tuat let people assume that they are occupying the position of a disembodied spirit who is about to undertake the journey through the Tuat, and that they are standing at the entrance to the First Division awaiting the arrival of the Boat of the Sun-God, on which they hope to have permission to travel.
