#### **Amun and Ra (Amun-Ra)**

**Amun-Ra** looks exactly like Amun, but he has the sun disk. Amun was a member of the Ogdoad, representing creation energies with Amaunet, a very early patron of Thebes. He was believed to create via breath and thus was identified with the wind rather than the sun. As the cults of Amun and Ra became increasingly popular in Upper and Lower Egypt respectively they were combined to create Amun-Ra, a solar creator god. The most common belief is that Amun-Ra was invented as a new state deity by the Theban rulers of the New Kingdom to unite worshipers of Amun with the older cult of Ra around the 18th Dynasty. Amun-Ra was given the official title "King of the God's" by worshippers, and images show the combined deity as a red-eyed man with a lion's head that had a surrounding solar disk.

#### **Atum and Ra (Atum-Ra)**

**Atum-Ra**, or **Ra-Atum**, looks exactly like Ra, since Atum is commonly said to be his human form. He was another composite deity formed from two completely separate deities, however Ra shared more similarities with Atum than with Amun. Atum was more closely linked with the sun, and was also a creator god of the Ennead. Both Ra and Atum were regarded as the father of the deities and pharaohs and were widely worshiped. In older myths, Atum was the creator of Tefnut and Shu, and he was born from ocean Nun.

#### **Horakhty and Ra (Ra-Horakhty)**

Looks exactly like Ra, sometimes with Horus' hat, **Ra-Horakhty** was more of a title or manifestation than a composite deity. It translates as "Ra (who is) Horus of the Horizons". It was intended to link Horakhty (as a sunrise-oriented aspect of Horus) to Ra. It has been suggested that Ra-Horakhty simply refers to the sun's journey from horizon to horizon as Ra, or that it means to show Ra as a symbolic deity of hope and rebirth. In some versions it is just a fusion of Horus and Ra.

#### **Khepri and Ra (Ra-Khepri)**

Khepri was a scarab beetle who rolled up the sun in the mornings and was sometimes seen as the morning manifestation of Ra. The idea of different deities (or different aspects of Ra) ruling over different times of the day was fairly common but variable. With Khepri taking precedence over sunrise Ra often was the representation of midday when the sun reached its peak at noon. Looks like Khepri but with the sun disc. Sometimes different aspects of Horus were used instead of Ra's aspects.

#### **Khnum and Ra (Khnum-Ra)**

Similarly, the ram-headed god Khnum was also seen as the evening manifestation of Ra. With Khnum taking precedence over sunset, Ra often was the representation of midday when the sun reached its peak at noon. Looks like Khnum, but with the sun disc.

#### **Sobek and Ra (Sobek-Ra)**

Has the body of crocodile and the head of Ra, not a lot is known about **Sobek-Ra**, it makes Sobek apart of the sun god.

#### **Montu and Ra (Montu-Ra)**

Not a lot is known about **Montu-Ra**, Montu is a very ancient god, and so he was originally a manifestation of the scorching effect of Ra, the sun — and as such often appeared under the epithet Montu-Ra.

#### **Raet-Tawy**

**Raet** or **Raet-Tawy** was a female aspect of Ra; she did not have much importance independent of him. In some myths she was considered to be either Ra's wife or his daughter.
