Ra was the creator, his power layed on his name. Also, he was the first pharaon of Egypt. For this he made himself man and as every man he had to grow old. Egyptians were happy because there was peace and plenty. Nilo was always leaving a rich coat of mud which made sure of fine crops.  The first day of the world Rah said "I am Khepera at the dawn, Ra at noon, and Tum in the evening," and as he said it the sun was rising in the east and crossing the sky and setting in the west.  But the people of Egypt rebelled against Ra and they were preparing evil things against his divine majesty. Those actions were caused by Apophis, the Dragon of Evil. Instead of sending the Eye of Death which was supposed to turn Egypt into a desert and to disappear mankind he created Sekhmet. It was a huge lioness, when it tasted human blood started to kill every human on Egypt. So Ra in order to stop it put red ochre on the beer to make it look like blood and the will sleep for a while, turning Sekhmet into Hathor the Lady of Love. Nowadays in the first day of the year they celebrate the festival in honor of Hathor and the priestesses of Elephantiné have to drink the red beer of Heliopolis. Now the world has love which is a new delight and a new pain.
