Ra in hieroglyphs

, , or

Ra (Arabic: رع‎)(sometimes Rê based on the attested Coptic name and reconstructed as *Rīʕu (ree-uh-uh) also Phra and later as Amon-Ra, meaning literally "sun") was a major deity in ancient Egyptian religion. Identified primarily with the mid-day Sun the chief cult centre of Ra was based in Heliopolis meaning "City of the Sun". In later Egyptian dynastic times, Ra was subsumed into the god Horus, as Re-Horakhty (and many variant spellings). He commanded sky, earth, underworld. He was associated with the falcon.

According to E. A. Wallis Budge he was the One god of Egyptian Monotheism, of which all other gods and goddesses were aspects, manifestations, phases, or forms of the god.Ra itself, however, was also a monotheistic God. A Hymn to Ra (approx. 1370 BCE) was written to stress the pantheistic nature of Ra to combat encroaching polytheism. In it, several gods and goddesses are described, not as beings in their own right, but certain forms of Ra. For example:

The Eye of Ra,

Ra is most commonly pronounced 'rah'. It is more likely, however, that it should be pronounced as 'ray', hence the alternative spelling Re rather than Ra. It is not known for sure what Ra's name means, but it is thought it may be a variant of or linked to 'creative', if not an original word for 'sun'. Ra often replaces Atum as the father, grandfather and great-grandfather of the gods of the Ennead, and creator of the world. Ra created Sekhmet, who becomes Hathor after she has sufficiently punished mankind as an avenging Eye of Ra, and so is often said to be the father of both and brother to the god, Osiris. Mankind was supposedly created from Ra's tears or sweat, leading to the Egyptians calling themselves the "Cattle of Ra".
