Amun Ra

An ode to a very old religion; a kind of social study, if you will. For me understanding the mythos of old world religions that have fallen out of popular favor and practice can help us know more about our religions today. There were many names for Ra. "Amun was a member of the Ogdoad, representing creation energies with Amaunet, and was a very early patron of Thebes. He was believed to create via breath, and thus was identified with the wind rather than the sun. As the cults of Amun and Ra became increasingly popular in Upper and Lower Egypt respectively, they were combined to create Amun-Ra, a solar creator god. It is hard to distinguish exactly when this combination happened, with references being made in pyramid texts to Amun-Ra as early as the V Dynasty. The most common belief is that Amun-Ra was invented as the new state deity by the (Theban) rulers of the New Kingdom to unite worshipers of Amun with the older cult of Ra, beginning around the XVIII Dynasty. Ironically, the cult of Amun-Ra was effectively just as monotheistic as Akhenaten's worship of Aten, and the cult became so powerful that it rivalled the monarchy." - Wikipedia.

@orr940 No, technically Ra was the father of Horus the Elder; the father of the better-known Horus (the one I suspect you are referring to) was Osiris. And it's not called a trinity, it's called a triad. There is actually a difference; a triad is three gods frequently connected to each other (whether through relation, common associations, etc) whereas a trinity is one god in three persons.
