"First, there was God Ra. He was also called Re. His title was the Sun-God. It is known that he was the creator of the world. Ra was also known as the Father of all Gods. It is from him the other Gods and Goddesses were created. He was known as a symbol of life, rebirth, children, and health. Ra was associated with three aspects, which are the same as the positions of the sun; Amen at dawn, Re in the evening, and Set at dusk. He was believed to be involved in the daily crossing of the sun in the Heavens. He was represented as a man with a falcon-head or a ram-head. In the second millennium, Ra was combined with God Amun, and at that time the God who was praised was Amun-Ra."
