Ra: The Path of the Sun God (1990)

A three-part animated feature film on themes from ancient Egyptian art and mythology. The first part of the film is given over to the Egyptian Genesis. Part two shows the intertwining of the world of the gods with that of the Divine Pharaoh, whom the ancient Egyptians believed to be the son of the Sun God Ra. In death, the Pharaoh continues his journey in the Underworld in the boat of the Sun God Ra, travelling through the twelve hours of night and conquering the powers of darkness before being resurrected at the dawn of the new day.
