Ra

One of the many deities worshiped by ancient Egyptians, Ra has been around as long as anyone can remember.

The God of the Sun and Sky quickly grew in influence with those who bowed, allowing him to add the title of God of Kings to his repertoire around the turn of the 25th century, B.C.E.

Beloved by most, Ra also had just as many enemies as the next — especially those who also dwelled in the Land-Above-All.

Time and time again, the Sun God found himself on the other side of a fight against Osiris, Seth, and Apophis, a Master of Chaos and Darkness.

Ra also has possession of the Atet, a massive sunboat which he powers across the sky. In fact, scholars believe the boat to be a primary source of Ra’s powers.
