As mentioned above, the Egyptian name for the goddess Neith is Net, which can be written hieroglyphically in many different forms. We can only assume that if Neith in one of her aspects was meant to represent a string, then the hieroglyphic name of Neith would in some way reflect that scientific meaning. Compare the hieroglyph for Neith below with the corresponding diagram beneath it from Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe, which illustrates a more complex interaction of strings:

We know that the first emergent gods of the Heliopolitan tradition were Geb, Nut, Shu, and Tefnut—the same gods that we previously showed were associated with earth, water, wind, and fire. With Neith as the mother goddess, we therefore have at the very foundation of the Egyptian religion the unmistakable symbol for a primordial thread who produces gods symbolizing the four categories of quantum particles, expressed in virtually the same terms as that of the Dogon. The sense in which Neith can be considered the mother of all the gods is the same sense in which the string can be considered the source of all matter. In support of this interpretation of the goddess Neith as a string, we find the following statement in an article by Katherine Griffis-Greenberg:
