=﻿ WHO WAS RA? =

  Have you ever heard of Ra before? I’m going to tell you now. Ra was known as a Sun God in Ancient times. Every morning Ra would open his eyes and there was light. He would get onto his boat called Matet meaning ‘becoming strong’ and ride the skies. When the day was over Ra would go down to the underworld and close his eyes, and then there was darkness. He was the king of all God’s. He holds a scepter, the symbol of power in his left hand and holds an ankh, the symbol of life in his right. He was married to the goddess Mut and had a son called God Khonsu. The God Isis wanted his throne so she created a poisonous snake to bite him. It did and Ra had to go to the other God's and ask for help. Doing so he has to tell him his real name which was Ra. He was saved but never the same. His name meant the ‘hidden one’. He didn't want to tell anyone who his name was because he was afraid someone might steal it. Ra had many names. One was ‘The eldest God of the Eastern Sky’ another was ‘Lord of throne from two hands’, but Ra is the name he made by himself. He was known as creating Earth.             <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Encyclopedia Britannica.
