Ra

Ra (Re) [Di].
The supreme god of ancient Egypt who takes the form of the sun and is closely connected with the king. Head of the Ennead of Heliopolis. His dead form is represented as a ram-headed man in a shrine. Ra was often syncretized with other gods to give them a solar aspect and to enhance their importance, as with Amun-Ra, Sobek-Ra, or Ra-Harakhte (Horus-of-the-horizon).
