Ahh a New Day

       Ra had an evil rival that he battled all the time. His rival was a serpent named Apep.  Doesn't it seem that all the bad guys are the serpents?   Apep's symbol is chaos, madness and craziness! Ra always beat Apep down to the ground to make a new day.  Ra's worshipper's had to rejoice a lot.  They had to worship every day at sunrise for their whole life.  Hey wait I need to rejoice! The priests had to do big celebratory rituals at the big temples. Ra brought the sun up by going on a boat and floating on the clouds above every one.  When it was night they would wish him a good travel because he had to fight dark scary monsters. When he came back from fighting the monsters they would thank him for the great sun light.
