"Ra or Re was the ancient Egyptian deity of the Sun. By the Fifth Dynasty, in the 25th and 24th centuries BC, he had become one of the most important gods in ancient Egyptian religion, identified primarily with the noon-day sun. Ra ruled in all parts of the created world: the sky, the Earth, and the underworld. He was believed to have ruled as the first pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. He was the god of the sun, order, kings and the sky. Ra was portrayed as a falcon and shared characteristics with the sky-god Horus." [Ra, Wikipedia]
HPL Pyramids (online text) 220, 221, 223: Harry Houdini wanted we to taste the deeper mysteries of primal Egypt—the black Khem of Re and Amen, Isis and Osiris. When Houdini saw the sun set over the great pyramids, it reminded him of the ancient god of Heliopolis—Re-Harakhte, the Horizon-Sun. On the vast stone breast of the Sphinx he faintly discerned the emblem of Re-Harakhte, for whose image the Sphinx was mistaken in a late dynasty.
RB Fane 133: Captain Cartaret found that, beneath the inscrutable shadows of the pyramids, the old gods like Ra still stalked in the old ways. Opener 163: It is not good to look upon the old gods in the places where they still rule; for deities such as the evil Amon-Ra frown down as sullen guardians in the purple pylons before the pyramids. Above the opening to the outer passageway of an Egyptian tomb, Peter Barton saw an abhorrent silver figure with the heads of seven principal Egyptian gods, including Ra.

Simon Waverly and Albert Keith found a map where H. P. Lovecraft had sketched the location of R'lyeh. Keith chartered the ship Okishuri Maru to R'lyeh, where the crew fed him to Cthulhu. In the near future, R'lyeh will rise again, among earthquakes and tsunamis that will damage many South Pacific islands. A nuclear submarine will be sent to destroy R'lyeh and Cthulhu, but will fail. Cthulhu will travel from there to Easter Island. [RB Strange]

A town in Essex County, Massachusetts, inland from Plum Island Sound. [Rowley, Massachusetts, Wikipedia; see map on Google Maps]
The branch railroad line from Rowley to Innsmouth was given up years ago. An old bus run by Joe Sargent ran through Newburyport to Innsmouth and then on to Arkham. After the train line stopped running, and before the bus route started, Innsmouth people used to walk to Rowley and take the train from there to get to Newburyport. Sargent's bus route ran south out of Newburyport along High Street, which changes name to High Road. Sometime before reaching Rowley, the bus turned on another road that runs closer to the beach and eventually becomes Federal Street in Innsmouth. From the Old Square in Innsmouth, the Rowley road runs northwest. When escaping Innsmouth on foot, the narrator followed the abandoned railway line to Rowley. Most of its earlier length was uncomfortably visible from the Rowley road, and from high places in the town itself. The Rowley road drew close to the old railway line before crossing it and diverging to the west. [HPL Innsmouth (online text)]
