A basic question on Ra

[kycahi]

If we think that Ra was "the Sun god of Egypt" because of hieroglyphics, then perhaps scholars got that bit wrong when decoding them. Maybe scribes about Ra chose a sun symbol as shorthand for the social memory folk, whom they must have held in near awe.

OTOH, if Ra showed up on the multilingual Rosetta Stone, then the data are better at making them as a god.
