Question

U have to know its the right answer %100

Answer 1

Ra. The sun god.

Answer 2

The sun and sun worship formed the basis of the ideologogy of Ancient Egyptians for over 3,000 yrs.
The sun God could be refered to as the Atum,meaning "the All",but as the sun was the souce of life and energy,he could also be called more specifically Ra,this is the main word used in Egyptian language to refer to the sun in its divine form..
These names were sometimes combined,for example the name Ra-Atum or Atum-Ra,where the two aspects of the divine creation are involved at the one time.
The Pharoah or King was the earthly aspect of the gods,above all Ra,the solar creator and Horus the god of kingship.
The most commen of of the compound names used in this way was Ra-Horakhty [akhty =he of the horizen.
The horizen was thought of as the home of the creator god.Each day the sun rose as confirmation of thier belief and undoubted relief that the god had been renewed.His voyage through the heavens in his solar barque during the hours of the day,was validation of his continued existance.At night he traveled through the Amduat=Underworld.
At the begining of creation, the Egyptians imagined that the sun must have appeared out of nothingness.This mystery could be explained and expressed as an act of spontaneous self-creation.For which they had a word kheper=to come into being,to take new form.
Another of the names given to the sun god was Khepi=the one who comes into being.and a frequent epithet was kheper-djesef'.The comparision drawn from the scarab beetle rolling a ball of dung along the grouund, and the act of the scarabs eggs hatching from the ball. This reminded them of the sun rolling through the heavensand the eggs hatching as regeneration of itself.
Akhenaton known "the heritic" developed a belief in monotheism were the Amon was referred to as the Aten. This deviation of belief and name did not last .His son reverted to the old beliefs and restored the name Amun.This remained the name of the major god of ancient Egypt.
Variants of the same god's name came and went with changes in dynasty and language.Shu=god of light
a very early name for the sun god. Amun,was extensivley used from the Late Middle Kingdom.

Answer 3

Well, it really depends on which era you want to know about. During the reign of Akhenaten, it was Aten, the Sun God. Then it switched back and forth between Ra and Amun, both sun gods. Sometimes it was a combination of the two, a god named Amun-Ra. This would be the latest god of Egypt and your best bet for this answer.

Answer 4

I actually knew this one once I think it started with an "S" actually I KNOW it started with an "S" and it's not the sky either, being Ra's mother. Do I get points for the first letter?


*EDIT* It was NOT any of the normal g-ds listed on this page. I know it as a fact. There was one main g-d with the power of ten or something. Not Ra, the g-d of the sun, not Osirus guardian of the underworld, not his wife (as famous as she may be). None. It was an ancient, ancient g-d before Ra (the first) took the throne. Before the time of kings. (An it still started with an S). Sorry I had to return all my library books on Egyptian Magic [heka] months ago.

Answer 5

Like everybody says it depends on the period.

Atum-in Egyptian religion, the Egyptian sun god that was the main god; also known as Re.


Set
The Hyksos people, who identified him with their own warrior God, elevated Set to the main God in Egypt after they invaded the land. It was these events that likely contributed to the association between Set and foreign people.

Answer 6

Ra the sun god

Answer 7

What's really interesting about your question is that there isn't any commonly accepted way of knowing exactly how far the original Egyptian culture goes back which may predate present estimates.History books are flawed with speculation and theories. The answers may be hidden within the eye of the pyramid or the library of these ancients.Some names might be commonly reused as to suggest reincarnation or the return of said God or deity. Look into Remote Viewing which makes claims of viewing ancient history by using supernatural abilities long forgotten and suppressed. (Stargate SG1) Science Fact..ion. No serioulsy there really is remote viewing though.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_viewing

The idea of remote viewing was first developed by Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff at the Stanford Research Institute at the behest of the CIA in 1972. The program, initially codenamed Scanate, apparently came as a response to Soviet research into psychic phenomena, on which the USSR was believed to have spent 60 million rubles in 1970. Initially, the project focused on a small number of individuals who appeared to show potential, most famously New York artist Ingo Swann.

Remote viewing allows a "viewer" to use his or her intuitive abilities to gather information on a target consisting of an object, place, or person, etc., which is hidden from the physical perception of the viewer and typically separated from the viewer in space by some distance.
