Ra is a self-generated god born from the primordial water (the mound created by the eight) or a lotus flower. He created Shu (shu) and Typhnut from his own essence * blood * or secretions. In one passage in the Book of the Dead, the god Ra pierced his body, and his blood became Hu, the god of language, and Sia, the god of wisdom, and Ra is also believed to have created the seasons, months, plants, and animals, and created humans with tears and sweat. The Egyptians called themselves "the cow of the god Ra".
The ancient Egyptians had complex polytheistic beliefs, and some ancient Egyptians worshipped the god Ra as a creator, especially in the city of Heliopolis. They believed that human beings were weeping tears from the god Ra. The followers of the god Rah are jealous of the god Ptah, and although they believe that the god Rah himself created himself, others believe that it was the god Ptah who created the god Ra.
The god Ra rules the sky, the earth, and the underworld.
For the Egyptians, the sun represented light, warmth, and growth, which made the sun god very important. The sun is considered to be the ruler of everything created by the god Ra. The sun is Ra's whole body, or just his eyes. In Heliopolis (the center of the cult of Ra), the symbol of Ra is a golden disc or a symbol of a circle with a dot in the middle.
The main center of worship in La was in Heliopolis (the land of the pillars). The Nevis bull is an incarnation of the god Ra and has its center of worship in Heliopolis and a cemetery dedicated to the bull in the north of the city.
In Heliopolis, La was regarded as the local sun god "Atum". Through him or as "Atum-Ra", he is seen as the head and progenitor of the nine gods composed of Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Seth, Isis, and Neftis. Curiously, this group of nine-element gods is said to be headed by Atum, not the god Ra.
Both Ra and Atum were regarded as the fathers of the gods and pharaohs and were widely worshipped.
Atum, the sun god of the setting sun, is the identity and form of the god Ra in the evening. It is often shown in the image of a black bull. As the head of the gods, he is the main god who created the world, and is a substitute for the creator of Shuhe Tevnut.
Ra is worshipped as Aton, the god of the rising sun, and Atum, the god of the twilight. Ra is called Atum in the early morning and Atum in the twilight.
Atonaton, the disc on the head of the sun, the sun god when the sun is just above the horizon.
Atum, the sun god of the setting sun, was originally the head of the gods, the main god of the creation of the world, and the father of Shuji Teft. Ben was the most senior deity of the Nine Pillars of Celestial Gods, and later gave way to Ra.
Ra was the father of Shuj-Tephnut, the grandfather of Nut and Geb, the great-grandfather of Osiris and others, and the great-great-grandfather of Horus. The god Ra was the father of Shuhefnut. The eye of the god Ra is also known as the Eye of Horus.
Raet or Raet-Tavi is the feminine side of Raet, and she does not have much significance independent of him. In some mythology, she is seen as the wife of the god Ra.
Shu, the god of the wind, usually appears with Nut and Gabe, standing in the center, supporting Nut, while Gabo lies on his side. It is a god anthropomorphized by the sun's rays, sharing a soul with Tefnut.
Tefnut is one of the gods of rain, fertility, and the Nine Pillars in Egyptian mythology. She's made of pulling. She married her brother Shu and gave birth to Geb and Nut.
Hathor, Pharaoh's symbolic mother god, goddess of the sky, daughter of the sun god Ra. The goddess of fertility in charge of Egypt, the patron goddess of women, and the master of the western desert of Thebes, was revered in the same way as the goddess Isis. In the image of a bull or with bull ears, he wears a sun disc and a crown of horns, and wears a merina necklace. The appearance of the female figure is the most beautiful of all the goddesses of ancient Egypt. The horn was revered and loved by the ancient Egyptians, the solar disc released the sun's energy to bless the world with prosperity and happiness, and the menait necklace transmitted the magic of the goddess, blessed people, and prolonged life and warded off enemies.
As a goddess, Hartol is in charge of almost everything concerning women, blessing them with fertility, beauty, health, happiness, love, romance, abundance, dance, music, wine and perfume, exuding the radiance of motherhood, which means: prosperity, abundance and prosperity of mankind. Whether Hator is often referred to as the "Ichimoku" of the sun god Ra, it is believed that he only raised Horus when he was a child, and was not Horus's wife. Hartoll was a gentle man who sang and danced to bring joy.
Because of his help in the War of the Gods, Hathor is revered as the patron saint of the undead, and along with the hippo goddess Tauert, he guards the entrance to the underworld to protect the undead. Even in Thebes, Hathor was considered the Grim Reaper.
Five thousand years ago and today, these beautiful meanings of Hathor have influenced the lives of Egyptians. To this day, those who seek inspiration in ancient Egyptian religion still visit the Temple of Hator to pray for healing, abundant harvest, and protection.
There are countless incarnations of the goddess Hathore, among which the woman, the cow, the goose, the lion and the fig tree are the most common. The most common incarnation is a cow, and even when it is incarnated as a woman, it often has a cow's head or a pair of cow ears. In folklore and religious legends, Hathor is depicted as a fig tree dripping with a white milky liquid, or a cow suckling a pharaoh.
Hartol is a symbol of abundance, generous and loving, occasionally terrifyingly ferocious, but always appealing to her devout adherents.
When Ra was worried that humans were plotting against him, he was ready to send Hathor as the "Eye of Ra" to destroy the humans, and later sent Sekhmet to complete this task. In one myth, Harthor danced naked in front of the god Ra, causing him to laugh and relieve his boredom. Once Hathor left Rashen, he fell into a deep depression.
