WHO ARE RA AND HORUS?
Ra (also given as Re) is the sun god of ancient Egypt. He is one of the oldest deities in the Egyptian pantheon and was later merged with others such as Horus, becoming Ra-Horakhty (the morning sun), Amun (as noonday sun), and Atum (the evening sun) associated with primal life-giving energy.
Horus on the other hand is the God of kingship and the sky. He is the son of Osiris and Isis, and is the divine child of the triad. He is portrayed as having the head of a falcon. His role changed over time but in the beginning of the Egyptian religion he was considered the god of war. His left eye is the moon which represents healing and his right eye is the sun, which represents power.
By the Fifth Dynasty, in the 25th and 24th centuries BC, (2613-2181 BCE) Ra had become one of the most important gods in ancient Egyptian religion until, like the other Egyptian gods, he was eclipsed by Christianity.
