Ra: Sun Ra
built 271 days ago
The cult of Ra began to grow from around the time of the II Dynasty, establishing Ra as the sun god. By the IV Dynasty, the Pharaohs were seen as "Sons of Ra". His worship increased much in the V Dynasty, when he became a state deity. Pharaohs had pyramids, obelisks and solar temples built in his honour.

Years later, another Goa'uld claiming to be Ra risen from the dead started his rise to power. Although he seemed to possess all the knowledge and talents of Ra, even going so far as to locate several hidden caches of resources hidden away by Ra, he was in fact simply the offspring of Ra and so contained his genetic memory. Despite this, he managed to draw many Jaffa to him, who believed him to truly be the Sun God. (RPG: "System Lord Plot Hooks") Though he managed to draw Serpent, Horus, and Jackal Guards to his side, it is unknown what happened to this Ra other than the fact that he did at least visit Abydos.
