In ancient Egyptian mythology, Ra, the sun god, was one of the most revered and powerful deities. He was believed to travel across the sky and the underworld in two divine boats — the Mandjet (morning boat) and the Mesektet (evening boat) — marking his journey through the day and night, symbolizing the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. Ra’s daily cycle of navigating these two boats was more than a mythological story; it was a foundational belief in ancient Egyptian cosmology, symbolizing the duality of existence and the eternal hope for renewal.
