Ra - Sun God, King of the Gods a falcon crowned with a sun disk or a man with a falcon's head
Ra was the God of the Sun. He sailed across the heavens in a boat called the 'Barque of Millions of Years'. At the end of each day Ra was thought to die and sailed on his night voyage through the Underworld, leaving the Moon to light the world above. The boat would sail through the twelve doors, representing the twelve hours of night time. The next dawn, he was born again.
It was not always smooth sailing. During the day Ra had to fight his chief enemy, a snake called Apep. He was helped by the other gods, such as Seth and Bastet.
The sun disk on Ra's head often has a cobra round it. A cobra appears on the forehead of Pharaohs, like Tutankhamun.
Ra was the greatest of the gods and he kept his power in his secret name, which only he knew. He had started to grow old, and sometimes he dribbled. Isis collected some of his saliva and made it into a snake. She hid the snake where Ra would walk. When Ra trod on it, it bit him, and Ra screamed in pain. All the gods gathered round, but none could heal him. Isis said, "If you tell me your secret name, this will give me enough magic power to heal you." Ra didn't want to do this, but eventually the pain was so bad that he had to. Isis healed him, and ever since then she has the magic powers that Ra had.

Isis - Queen of Goddess with a throne or sun disk and horns on her head
Isis was the great mother-goddess. Her son was Horus, the enemy of Seth. Sometimes she has the baby Horus on her lap. Sometimes she has a throne on her head, as she is Queen of the goddesses. Sometimes she has a sun disk and horns, like Hathor.
Isis was also a great healer and magician. She got her magic powers by tricking Ra.
The war between Horus and his enemy Seth had lasted a long time. Isis decided to help her son Horus. She met Seth, and asked for his help. She described someone killing a man and taking all he had away from the man's son. Seth said that killer should pay for his crimes. Isis said that Seth himself was the killer, and he had condemned himself. The other gods agreed, and Seth was driven out into the Sahara Desert.

What do you think will happen in the next book. Of course it is going to have a problem, solution, and drama. The book will obviously mainly deal around Carter and Sadie trying to defeat a tradgedy, auch as a monster. What monster, what tradedy? Will they find Zia, and who will get hurt? Zia? Anibus???? Will Bast come back and reliove again since she has 7 lives? I think that the 2nd book will deal around that snake monster that controlled Set, if it comes, out, as it said in the book that it the snake thing was espcaping slowly. Or will Bast defend the world as she continues to battle the snake thing in that punishment area thingy? Or will she come out and release the smake thing so Carter and Sadie will be able to help her defeat it? So many questions, soon to be answered in less than a year.....
Comment on what you think will happen! Thanks!

If you could interview Rick Riordan about his books, icluding The Red Pyramid, the Percy Jackson Seires, The Lost Hero, and all of his adult books, what questions would you ask? I would ask him how he made up his books and why he decided to make books anyway. I would also ask him about his new books for The Kane Chronicles, and the sequel seires to The Percy Jackson Series, The Heros of Olympus. In addition to that, I would ask hime about his upcoming books for adults, and if after the seires of The heroes of Olympus and the Kane Chronicles (whichever one ends first) if he has any upcoming ideas of a new seies. That's what I would ask him? After reading this article, have you came up with some new questions? I hope so!
