About this audiobook
Before the first dawn ever broke the silence of creation, there was Ra — the self-created light who rose from the primeval waters to define the boundary between existence and chaos. To the ancient Egyptians, each sunrise was not a metaphor, but the literal rebirth of the universe: a daily triumph of order over darkness. This book reveals Ra as the conscious mind of the cosmos — source of energy, authority, kingship, and all that is illuminated. Through his three divine forms — Khepri at dawn, Ra at noon, and Atum at dusk — he governs the eternal cycle of creation, radiance, and return. His journey through the Duat each night, fiercely battling the serpent Apophis, embodies the hope that no darkness is final, no death irreversible. God Ra, Lord of the Sun explores the theology, ritual, and cosmology of one of the most influential gods in human history.
