Ra

Camellia

Ra，the ancient Egyptian god of the sun, regarded as the noonday sun, and the head of Heliopolis, the Ninepins.
Ra has been the most important god in ancient Egyptian mythology since the First Dynasty of Egypt. After Thebes became the capital of all Egypt, Ra was merged with the supreme god of Thebes into Amun. Ra was the sun god of Egypt for more than a thousand years.
In the ancient Egyptian concept, the Nile and Styx represent day and night respectively, and each symbolizes the light world and the hell world. Every day when the sun rises in the east, Ra Shen will take a solar boat to the Nile River for inspection, bringing happiness and peace to mankind. When night falls, the sun boat of Ra Shen will descend from the west and enter the Styx River. In the Styx River, Ra Shen passes through 12 gates of 12 kingdoms, that is, 12 hours of the night. Every hour, you will pass a city of death, where the god snake of Apophis specifically threatens the sun god Ra. Moreover, every kingdom where Ra Shen passed, he had to climb over the tall city gate, where soldiers equipped with various weapons and huge pythons waited for the sun boat of Ra Shen.
To this end, the gods are fully prepared. The gods of heaven and wind escorted the solar boat through the first hour smoothly. At the second hour, Ra Shen was welcomed by people, so the solar boat passed here safely. In the seventh hour, they came to the kingdom of Osiris, the king of Hades. Osiris is a great god, who is in charge of the fate of every dead person. He used a scale to weigh the heart of the dead to decide the different fate of the good and the evil. At the 12th gate, Osiris's wife Isis and Seth's wife Neptius became snakes, waiting for the god. They walked into the sun boat together. Therefore, Ra Shen left the Styx River and headed for the dawn. At this time, the souls of the dead will cry loudly.

拉（Ra，有时拼作Rah，较为准确的应作Ré），又译瑞、赖。是古埃及神话中的太阳神，被视为正午的太阳，也是赫里奥波里斯-九柱神之首。
从埃及第一王朝以来，拉一直是古埃及神话中最重要的神，并在底比斯成为全埃及的都城后和底比斯最高神阿蒙融合为阿蒙拉。一千多年以来，拉一直是埃及的太阳神。
拉曾在埃及第十八王朝法老阿蒙霍特普四世时期的埃赫那吞改革中被阿顿取代。但是这场改革过于激烈，触犯到了贵族阶级的核心利益，并且随着阿蒙霍特普四世的死去而停止，拉是以重新恢复太阳神的地位。在古代埃及人的观念里，尼罗河和冥河分别代表白昼和黑夜，各自象征着光明世界和地狱世界。每天旭日东升的时候，拉神会乘坐太阳船去尼罗河上巡视，带给人类幸福和安宁。每当夜幕降临的时候，拉神的太阳船便从西而下，进人冥河。在冥河里，拉神要经过12个王国的12道城门，也就是夜的12个钟点。每走一个钟点，就要经过一座死亡之城，那里有阿波非斯的神蛇专门威胁着太阳神拉。而且拉神每经过一个王国， 都要攀越高大的城门，城门上有配备各种武器的士兵及巨大的蟒蛇等候着拉神的太阳船。

为此，众神做好了充分的准备。天神和风神护卫着太阳船顺利地度过第一个钟点。在第二个钟点拉神受到了人们的拥戴，因此，太阳船平安地通过此地。在第7个小时，他们来到了冥府之王奥西里斯的王国。奥西里斯是位伟大的神明，掌管着每个死人的命运。他用一个天平来称量死人的心脏，来决定善人和恶人的不同下场。在第12道门口，奥西里斯之妻伊西斯和塞特之妻尼普齐斯变成蛇形，等候着拉神。她们一起走进太阳船。于是，拉神又离开冥河，走向黎明。这个时候，死者的灵魂都会大声地哭泣。

Ra was replaced by Aten during the Ehenathon reforms under the Egyptian eighteenth dynasty pharaoh Amenhotep IV. However, this reform was too drastic, offended the core interests of the aristocracy, and was stopped with the death of Amenhotep IV, and Rayi regained his status as the sun god.
