The God Re-Horakhty-Khepri “Ra-@r-Axty-#pri” in Ancient Egypt

Abstract

The beliefs and practices surrounding the ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses were the foundation of ancient Egyptian religion, which emerged somewhere in prehistory. This paper investigates the god Re-Horakhty-Khepri . The syncretism of two strong gods, Re and Horus, was one of the most significant events in Egyptian mythology, and it appears to have had a substantial philosophical and iconographic impact on Egyptian history. Re's power was augmented by this, which consisted of a falcon-headed man crowned with a sun disc; in the mornings, Re has combined with Horus to become Re-Horakhty . As for Khepri who was the form of the sun god which represented the solar disc rising on the eastern horizon. The Egyptians saw the scarab or dung beetle as a sign of the god due to the beetle's habit of rolling a ball of mud or dung over the ground in a manner indicative of the god pushing the solar disc across the sky in its earliest known occurrences, kheprer. The combination of these two gods is the aim of that study.
