If you mean how Ancient Egyptians pronounced the word duat (dwꜣt), here are the reconstructed pronunciations in several stages of Ancient Egyptian (using IPA):

/ˈtʼuwlat/ - Old Egyptian (approx 2500 B.C.E.)

/ˈtʼuwlaʔ/ - Middle Egyptian (approx 1700 B.C.E.)

/ˈtʼuːʔəʔ/ - Medio-Late Egyptian (approx 1350 B.C.E.)

/tʼeːʔ/ - Late Egyptian (approx 800 B.C.E.)

/teː/ - Old Coptic (approx 325 B.C.E.)

The Egyptian River of the Dead, The Duat, can be pronounced in a few ways: DO-AT, by most people, DU-AY, the scientific pronunciation, and DO- AH, simply an alternate method of speaking. Most people pronounce it just the way it sounds.

What was Duat a god in Egypt?

Duat wasn't a god. Duat was sort of like the underworld, where all things go in death, where they are banished, and where gods are imprisoned. You could also travel in the Duat, but only in the shallow parts. The deeper you went, the more dangerous the creatures there were. And you could store things in the Duat, but sometimes you couldn't get them back. Duat was like the opposite of good, it was like chaos.

What is a Duat in ancient Egypt?

In Egyptian mythology, Duat (also Tuat and Tuaut or Akert, Amenthes, Amenti, or Neter-khertet) is the underworld.The Duat one would think to reside in an area under the Earth, but ancient Egyptians often referred to the sky. The Duat is the realm of the god Osiris and the residence of other gods and supernatural beings. It is the region through which the sun god Ra travels from west to east during the night, and where he battled Apep.It also was the place where people's souls went after death for judgement, though it was not the full extent of the afterlife. Burial chambers formed touching-points between the mundane world and the Duat, and spirits could use tombs to travel back and forth from the Duat.
