Sia was thought to have been created by Ptah or Ra.

Sia was a god of deep feeling and inspiration, the personification of the constellation Orion. Sia was thought to inspire artisans and craftsmen. Together with Hau, Sia is known for the help he gave the sun god Ra on his barque during the nightly journey through the Duat. A special duty of his was to protect the private parts of the dead. Hau and Sia together were considered the “tongue and heart” of the god Ptah. Due to the connection between wisdom and writing, Sia was often shown as a man holding a papyrus, the plant from which writing paper was constructed.
