1: The Egyptian religion was a syncretic one, with concepts best understood as parallel to the Christian Trinity. Ra, the sun god, frequently combined other gods to resolve issues together as one.

Ra combined with Amun, 'the hidden one', to become Amun-Ra, 'lord of the sky, power of the land'. So, Amun and Ra existed at the same time as Amun-Ra existed.

Ra could also, for example, combine with Horus, the god embodying power over the earth, to become Ra-Horakhty, 'the sun god, the Horus of the horizon'.

2: Probably you are having a challenge because amun ra came after amun and ra. They were two different gods that in an unrecorded time, combined. It isn't the only time ra has been combined with another god, but not nearly as told about...

They were two different gods, not two gods joined into one.
