The Story of Ra : The Creation
There was nothing but chaos of water in the begining of the world. Then, Ra, the god of sun, created the ground, the air, and the sand by naming them. He could create things with merely a call of names. Ra named Shu, his son, the god of the wind, and Tefnet, his daughter, the god of the rain. He also created plants and the animals., and his tears became the first humans. Then Shu and Tefnet made their own children, Geb, the goddess of the earth, and Nut, the goddess of the sky. After the creation, he came down and became the first pharaoh of Egypt. He ruled Egypt for centuries, but His secret name was revealed by Osiris, the son of Nut. Ra was forced to leave. Then Osiris became the next Pharaoh.

I think Ra was kind of strange because his done of the births of his great grandson, Osiris, is contradictory to himself. He was afraid that he would take his place of the Pharoah and forbad his grandson, Nut, to have any children because of a prophecy. However, he had to go back to the sky finally.

The Rise of Horus
Osiris became the new pharoah of Egypt. He had a son named Horus with Isis. Osiris taught people how to grow grain, make bread with it and brew it for beer. People were happy under Osiris' rule. Nonetheless, Osiris' brother, set, was envious of him. He trapped Osiris in a chest to suffocate him and dropped it into the Nile River. Isis fled into wilderness with Horus. She started looking for the chest because Osiris needed a funeral to go on the afterlife. However, Set found the chest and cut Osiris' body to pieces and spread them to many countrysides. Isis found each of them and performed the funeral ceremonies. Horus grew up gradually. He and his armies fought with Set, which transformed into a giant hippo. Horus killed him and became the next pharoah of Egypt. After Horus died, he had a battle with Set in the underworld. They're still fighting right now. If Horus wins, he can go back and regain the place of pharoah.

Isis tried really hard to find Osiris' dead body for that he could pass into the underworld. She didn't fear hardship and finally accomplish that. Horus was really brave to fight with the murderer of his father, and he triumphed at the end.
