Ra-Horakhty was a combination of the gods Horus and Ra.
Horus was a god of the sky, and Ra was the god of the sun. Thus, Ra-Horakhty was thought of as the god of the rising sun.
Amun was one of the most powerful gods in ancient Egypt.
At the height of Egyptian civilisation he was called the 'King of the Gods'.

Amun
Amun was important throughout the history of ancient Egypt. However,
when Amun was combined with the sun god Ra he was even more powerful.
He was then called Amun-Ra.
A large and important temple was built at Thebes to honour Amun.
