Ra:

1.  Ra was the ancient sun god and was considered the creator of the universe.

2. He was often depicted with a sun disk on his head and the head of a falcon.

When the cults of Amun and Ra were merged, Amun-Ra came into being, embodied the aspects of both gods:

1. He became the god of creation, kingship and the sun.

2. Amun-Ra was often depicted as a falcon-headed man, crowned with a sun disk and surrounded by the uraeus (sacred cobra).

The worship of Amun-Ra reached its peak during the New Kingdom (about 1550-1070 BCE), when he was considered the supreme god and patron of the pharaohs. The Great Temple of Karnak in Thebes was the main cult center for Amon-Ra.

Believers of Amon-Ra, as in the ancient Egyptian religion, could perform various rituals and practices to honor and worship their god. Here are some of the main activities:

1. Prayer and Sacrifices: Believers brought offerings such as food, drink, flowers, and other valuable objects to the temples of Amun-Ra. They prayed and pleaded for protection, guidance, and blessings.

2. Rituals and Ceremonies: Priests performed daily rituals in the temples, including washing and dressing the statues of the gods, burning incense, and reciting sacred texts.

3. Holidays and Festivals: Believers participated in religious festivals and holidays in honor of Amon-Ra. One of the most important was the Opet Festival, during which the statue of Amun-Ra was carried in a procession from the Temple of Karnak to the Luxor Temple.

4. Pilgrimages: Believers made pilgrimages to holy sites, such as the temple complexes of Karnak and Luxor, to show their commitment and ask for forgiveness and blessings.

5. Amulets and Talismans: Believers wore amulets and talismans with symbols of Amun-Ra to protect them from evil and to bring good luck and health.

6. Education and Knowledge: Believers studied religious texts and mythology to gain a deeper understanding of their beliefs and the gods. Temple schools played an important role in teaching the next generation of priests and scribes.

These practices helped the believers strengthen their bond with Amun-Ra and show their devotion to their god.
