RA
Ra was the king of the deities and the father of all creation. He was the patron of the sun, heaven, kingship, power, and light. He was not only the deity who governed the actions of the sun, he could also be the physical sun itself, as well as the day.
Ra is the Egyptian word for 'sun'. As a solar deity, Ra embodied the power of the sun but was also thought to be the sun itself, envisioned as the great god riding in his barge across the heavens throughout the day and descending into the underworld at sunset.
When the breath of life was strong and ready, the entity called Atum decided it was time for Creation to begin. An island emerged from the water to support this divinity, who manifested itself in the form of Ra, the sun god of Egypt
Among the first and oldest gods, Ra has existed for eternity. He brought all creation to life and in addition to creating many gods, he brought to life two sons: Osiris and Set.

Signs
The most prominent Ra symbol is the sun, which is usually depicted as a red or gold disk above Ra's head. Sometimes, Ra is actually depicted just as the sun disk flanked by hawk's wings. More commonly, he is a man with a hawk's head. Often, Ra is carrying a scepter and an ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol of life
