Homonym: Ра (Sun)
Ра is the ancient Egyptian god of the sun, often considered one of the most important deities in Egyptian mythology. He is typically depicted with a falcon head and a sun disk above it, symbolizing his role as the sun god. Ra was believed to travel across the sky during the day and through the underworld at night, representing the cycle of life and death.
