I'm fairly certain you're right, I just can't remember if it was that exact attempt at fucking with the Sun that started that, or if that was another time.

Because Ra has nothing but burning hatred for Apep, and it was well damned earned. Snake refuses to learn the lesson.

there's probably a version of the myth for each. you know how the Greeks kinda had an established canon for their mythology? Egyptians did not lmao, there are very few (if any at all tbf) constants in their religion and the 3000 years of an Empire has produces many different versions of the state standard, and that's to not even mention the stuff nobody wrote down.

bonus fun fact! in some versions of the infamous cum salad myth Thoth creates a solar disk made out of Horus's cum that gets summoned from Set's body at the trial. next time you look at Thoth know that his hat is made of cum

there is also a goddess who is a brick, she has a human face and the rest is a brick :)
