Ra was a god of the living, and Osiris was the king of the dead. In the Old Kingdom weird kinds of forms assumed powers of Ra. Hey the kings became his sons, his sons? Yes his sons, well physically. This lasted forever in Egyptian history. Alexander III, the great, destroyed Egypt. He went to the Oasis of Siwa in the desert,creepy names, to become Ra's son! Alexander was thinking he had magical powers of the true king of the Nile? During the New Kingdom, I wish I had one, the real son, Amun was powerful, strong, and a mighty deity in Egypt because he was united with Ra!
I didn't know Ra was a god of the living - opposite of Osiris the king of the dead.
