The Egyptian myth explains death and disease to exist after Ra decided to send Sekhmet, a lioness, to the people in order to kill them. Ra did this because he was unhappy with mankind. After the lioness murdered many of the people, Ra decided to keep the remaining people, alive while Sekhmet was still blood-thirsty. Ra kept the lioness from killing the rest of the people by feeding her beer, disguised as blood. From then on, death and illness were a part of human life.
