Climax
Every story has a climax and in the Myth of Ra's creation of life there is a conflict and with that conflict there comes a climax. The climax in this conflict would be when Ra wants goddess Hathor to kill all the humans because they are not obeying him and are being not to worship him like he wanted all of them to do, so he sends Hathor out to begin killing every one in her site.
I could argue this point. I would say Ra sending Sekhmet(Hathor) out to kill humans is the rising action. Instead of that as the climax, shouldn't the point at which Hathor memory is erased by alcohol? The point here is, I don't recognize the Humans and Ra as the conflicting forces, I see Ra's kindly side and Ra's cruel side as the warring factions. Sekhmet is the dark and a pitying Ra is the light. The climax is the drunken purging of Hathor's memory.
