Ifølge myten rejste Ra (solen) over himlen om dagen, hvorefter han sejlede ned på nattens flod i Duat om natten og gennem nattens tolv huse, svarende til nattens tolv timer, hvorefter han ved daggry sejlede op på himlen igen, og sådan fortsatte det lige til verdens undergang.

According to the Amduat, the underworld consists of twelve regions signifying the twelve hours of the sun god's journey through it, battling Apep in order to bring order back to the earth in the morning; as his rays illuminated the Duat throughout the journey, they revived the dead who occupied the underworld and let them enjoy life after death in that hour of the night when they were in the presence of the sun god, after which they went back to their sleep waiting for the god’s return the following night.
