HOW BEER SAVED MANKIND
The story of the Eye of Ra began when Ra, who was believed to be the actual Pharaoh of Egypt during that time, perceived the people forgot to respect him and his rule. They would break laws and make sarcastic comments at his expense. The sun god was furious at the insult and decided to show mankind the errors of their way by sending an aspect of his daughter, the 'Eye' of Ra.

The Eye of Ra is described as a powerful, destructive force that was associated with the fiery heat of the sun and was born to subdue Ra’s enemies. It is represented by the disk of the sun and is sometimes believed to be an independent entity, associated with a number of other Egyptian gods, notably, Bast, Hathor, Sekhmet, Tefnut, Nekhbet, and Mut.

It is believed that Ra plucked her from the Ureas, the royal serpent on his brow — a symbol of royal authority and protection — and sent her to Earth in the form of a lion. There, the Eye of Ra waged a bloodbath and massacred thousands of humans until the fields became red with blood.

When Ra saw the extent of carnage his daughter wrought, he feared she would kill everyone and commanded her back to his side. However, the Eye of Ra was filled with blood lust and turned a deaf ear to his pleas.

So Ra poured 7,000 jugs of beer, stained with pomegranate juice, to look like blood all over the fields. The Eye of Ra gorged on the blood and became so drunk she went to sleep for three days. When she woke up, she had a terrible hangover. And this is how mankind was saved from her.
