Ra was the Egyptian god of the sun, often depicted with a falcon head. He was the creator and supreme ruler of all realms: the earth, the heavens and the underworld. Ra's other main attribute was the solar-disk which represented the sun. Pictured: Relief from the Tomb of Nefertari in the Valley of the Queens. Thebes, Egypt. 19th Dynasty (1292-1186 BCE).
