The Ancient Egyptian God Amun Ra
The ancient Egyptians believed that sunset means the beginning of Ra's daily journey, in which he travels in his sacred boat to the underworld every evening, to fight the forces of evil represented by a large snake called Apophis, then returns victorious and shining in the high sky every morning of a new day. See a similar solar boat in the Grand Egyptian Museum through Egypt Classic Tours with Cairo Top Tours professional team. This daily resurrection of Ra was considered by the ancient Egyptians as a sign of the resurrection of man, and also evidence of the victory of the god Ra over the forces of chaos and evil.
Furthermore, Ra merged with several gods, including the god Amun, under the name "Amun-Ra", Amun-Ra is the hidden face of Ra, and he also merged with the god Horus, to become Ra-Horakhti when the north and south were united.

Where the worship of Ra was widespread in the north, and the worship of Horus was widespread in the south, the priests united the two gods to become one god under "Re-Hor-achti", who is represented in the image of a man with the head of a falcon, the symbol of (the god Horus), and carries above his head the sun disk.
In addition, Amun is the god of the sun and fertility, and the hidden face of Ra, and is always depicted as a man wearing a crown with two feathers coming out of it, the communication with him was only through prayer and supplication. The sincerity of man in his supplication is the only way to the god Amun, so he had great popularity, especially among the poor who had nothing but supplication to the god and submission to him. At a time when the worship of gods was widespread by offering sacrifices and material things, Amun was different from all other gods, his absence from the picture and his being hidden and contact with him only spiritually made his worship close as a monotheistic worship.
