Amun Ra

deity

Amun Ra is one of the most significant deities in ancient Egyptian mythology, revered as the king of the gods and associated with the sun and creation. He was often depicted as a man with a ram's head, symbolizing strength and fertility. Amun Ra's worship peaked during the New Kingdom, particularly in Thebes, where temples were constructed in his honor, including the magnificent Karnak Temple complex. The recent discovery of a relief featuring King Ramses III offering tributes to Amun Ra highlights the enduring importance of this god in the religious and political life of ancient Egypt.
