Ra (or Amun-Ra) was the Egyptian sun god. He carried the sun across the sky. He was not the sun itself (Aten). During the reign of King Tut's father, the pharaoh changed the religion away from worshipping Amun and the other gods and created the world's first monotheistic religion that worshipped the disk of the sun itself (Aten). This greatly upset the established religious order that wielded significant power in Egypt. On his death, his religious reforms were abandoned and Egypt returned to the polytheistic worship of the gods with Ra as the chief deity.
