doom in the realm of el-ka-loom

SOLAR BARGE is a musical representation of the timeless journey of Ra and his crew as they transport the solar disc through the sky and the underworld. Ra was thought to travel in a sun boat (The Boat of the Millions) to protect its fires from the primordial waters of the underworld it passed through during the night. Ra traveled in the sun boat with various other deities including Set and Mehen who defended against the monsters of the underworld, and Ma'at who guided the boat's course.
