« The boat of millions of years » or «Bark of Ra»At the centre of the Ancient Egyptian spiritual world view lay the “The boat of millions of years” containing the “great nine gods” headed by Ra who created himself out of Nun (primordial energy). The voyage of the “gods in the boat of Ra” symbolizes the process of cognition.
“Sailing” means the beginning of movement in the universe (finding out about himself). Movement presupposes that the events take place in space and time, that is the Universe begins to exist as a mass of moving beings.
