Ra (Egyptian mythology)

Ra is an ancient Egyptian sun god and one of the most important deities in Egyptian mythology. Represented as a powerful, often son-like figure, Ra embodied the sun’s energy, life force, and authority. He was believed to travel across the sky daily in a solar boat, symbolizing the cycle of day and night, and was associated with creation and rebirth. As a central figure in Egyptian religion, Ra symbolized divine power, order, and the cycle of life, and was often merged with other gods to emphasize his significance in maintaining harmony in the universe.
