Ra Sun God

Ra was the sun god of the ancient Egyptians, and Ra was a god in the ancient Egyptian religion in the era of the Fifth Dynasty during the centuries 24 and 25 BC, and he was symbolized by the sun disk at noon.

 In later ages in the history of the Egyptian ruling families, (Ra) was joined to the god (Horus) to become his name "Ra-Horakhty" meaning (Ra, the Horus of Horizons) - and Horus is the falcon or the supreme and surrounding deity. Ra-Horakhty was believed to be the ruling god in all parts of the worlds: “heaven and earth” and “the underworld.” The new image of "Ra Al-Moutahid Horus" has been connected to the falcon or the grove that symbolizes Horus. In the era of the modern state that appeared between the 16th and 11th centuries B.C., the god Amun rose to prominence, fusing with Ra as a united deity, which is "Amon - Ra." During the Amarna era, the pharaoh Akhenaten suppressed the sect of Ra and the doctrine of "Amon - Ra" in favor of another religion calling for the unification of the deity of the sun itself or "the deified sun disk" - Aten, giving the deity of the sun a higher position than the abstract deities, but after the death of Akhenaten the sect of Ra regained its place.
