Ra is an ancient Egyptian god who personified the sun, the Duat, and was thought to be the creator of humanity as a whole. He was known to have merged with other gods such as Amun, Atum, Horus, among others. Ra was considered to be most iconic solar deity that ever existed in all of ancient Egypt.
Legacy and influence
By the 1st century BCE, several weapons were named as tributes to Ra, including a mace and a light bow.[1]
In 48 BCE, a criminal went by the name Son of Ra, acting in and around Dionysias, presumably due to mystic reasons.[2]
In Anglo-Saxon England during the 9th century CE, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan recovered a letter written in Demotic by the former Medjay and Hidden Ones co-founder Bayek of Siwa from the travelling merchant Reda. In it, Bayek said that despite their separation, he often thought of her in Rome when "the breath of Amun" warmed his neck as he travelled across Egypt.[3]
Trivia
