The Myth of Heavenly Cow and Destruction of Mankind | Egyptian Mythology

The Myth of the Heavenly Cow is a profound ancient Egyptian narrative that addresses divine retribution, cosmic order, and the separation between gods and humans. Central to this myth is the sun god Ra, who, upon discovering that humanity was plotting against him in his old age, sends the fierce lioness-goddess Hathor (in her destructive aspect as Sekhmet) to punish humankind. In a frenzy of divine wrath, she slaughters many people until Ra, seeing the excessive bloodshed, regrets his decision. To stop the carnage, he tricks Sekhmet by flooding the fields with red-colored beer, which she mistakes for blood and drinks until she becomes intoxicated and pacified. This moment marks not only the salvation of the surviving humans but also a shift in divine-human relations. Disillusioned with humanity, Ra ascends to the heavens on the back of the celestial cow—identified with Nut, the sky goddess—creating the separation between the earth and the divine realm. The myth further explains the origin of the stars and the daily passage of the sun across the sky, as Ra is carried in his solar barque through the body of the sky cow. To support this cosmic structure, the legs of the cow are held up by eight Heh deities (symbols of infinity), and Shu, the god of air, provides additional support. The tale not only offers theological justification for divine aloofness and the mortal condition but also provides symbolic grounding for the sky's arched appearance and the solar cycle, encapsulating themes of divine power, cosmic balance, and the fragile relationship between gods and mortals in the Egyptian worldview. -- Consider Supporting Atum!
