Before I left the farm, the servant told me to go to the Ancient Temple of Ra. When I went on my boat I used the servant’s instructions to the ancient temple of Ra who was known as the father of all Gods. He told me that Ra was the universally-worshipped king of the gods. Ra also has a symbol in hieroglyphics which I stuck below.
Ra- Father of All Creation
Ra has many names like Re Patron of: the sun, heaven, kingship, power, light. The appearance of Ra normally looks like a pharaoh wearing the sun disk on his head. Ra was worshipped widely throughout Egypt, Ra was the main sun god for centuries. Ra was generally considered as a male. Ra was worshipped in many ways using hymns, prayers and spells to help Ra and the sun boat over come Apep. Ra’s symbol is a sun disk. A power that the Egyptians believed Ra possessed was that he created the world. Ra was thought to travel on two solar boats called Mandjet
( The boat of millions of years )or the morning boat and the Mesektet or the evening boat. These boats took him on his journey through the sky and the underworld. He is equal second with threeother gods on the hierarchy. Ra’s role in the afterlife is the solar vision, in which the deceased soul travelled with Ra on his daily journey, was still primarily associated with royalty, but could extend to other people as well.
