Myths featuring Sokar

Every evening, the Egyptian sun god Ra descends into the underworld, known as the Duat, to navigate its twelve perilous regions. Aboard his solar barque, the Mesektet, he must overcome cosmic obstacles and the chaos-serpent Apep to be reborn at dawn. This journey represents the eternal cycle of death and resurrection, ensuring the sun rises each day to maintain Maat, or cosmic order.

Every night, the sun god Ra journeys through the underworld to confront darkness and entropy. At the stroke of midnight, he reaches the deepest sanctuary of the Duat to unite with Osiris, the god of the dead. This profound union allows Ra to be spiritually regenerated and reborn as Khepri at dawn, ensuring the continuation of cosmic balance and the survival of the world.
