Ancient Egyptian Gods - Ra
Ra was believed to be the most important god of them all. Ra was the god of the sun. The appearance of Ra was a man with a hawk head with a sun disk on top of his head. All the Egyptians thought that during the night he would be swallowed by the sky goddess Nut, he would then be reborn each morning. Apparently during the night Ra was believed to travel through the underworld. He would always resurface during the day for his duty of the sun god.
