Seqtet boat

The Seqtet boat is the second six hours of the day (from noon till nightfall) in Ancient Egyptian belief. It was preceded by the Matet boat. The Seqtet boat is represented by the Sun as Ra, and Ra as a boat since it sails across the sky like a boat on water. This belief depends on the era and city.
