Creation of life
There are many ways that humans were created but Egyptians believe that Ra, the sun god created life with his tears. Ra would cry whenever he looked at something breath taking and perfect. As the tears would roll down his face and hit the ground a human being would be created and gave a life. The humans soon began acting out and Ra grew angry with what had been happening, He transformed goddess Hathor into a lioness. He sent Hathor to the earth on a voyage to kill the humans for their actions. Many people were killed and only lived a few more humans. Ra hand a change in mind and decided to save the last of the people. He began to get Hathor drunk so that she would forget about her task. This myth showed the creation of human but also creating death.
Your summary was very clear and concise. One thing that I might comment is that there could more elaboration into the details, such as what the humans did to act out and anger Ra. There were a couple of grammatical errors, but it was very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI like how your retelling of the myth made sense and it was interesting.
