It was said that the Egyptian sun god Ra sailed in his boat across the sky during the day and transported it back to the underworld at night.

There is a myth that the human Ra was old and very weak and because he was vulnerable, his people began to ignore his laws and instructions. He sent his daughter, the lion’s eye of Ra, to punish his people. The eye became angry and destroyed humanity. The gods feared that the eye would kill all humans. Ra used red beer to get his eyes drunk and passed out. Then the eye was calm again and returned to Ra.

Another myth says that he has Ra’s eye to obtain information, sometimes that purpose is used along with the previous one and he administers his from justice with the information collected by his eye.

A more benign purpose for the eye can be seen when Ra acts as a loving father and sends his eye to search for his two lost children.X
