| Himn to Ra | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Glory to you, o great god who has created other gods Who has created himself Who has created heaven and earth (...) And earth was in darkness, But when you were born, there was light, Which shone over Egypt with its rays, When your shiny disc flashed up, And people could see, when your right eye flashed up But your left eye drove night's darkness off. P.S. "Right eye of Ra" - sun "Left eye of Ra" - moon |
