wow someone else who noticed that Egypt does have a flood myth
I like Sekhmet
en.wikipedia.org...
shes my kinda gal

Actually Sekhmet (which is a take on the Hathor legend ... exactly the same legend) has the gods only filling the fields with beer and not actually flooding the world or the land.

and how would you describe a field that is filled with a liquid ?
you say filled
I say flooded
actually so does the actual story

Ra's servants poured the beer mixture on the fields. And so, Hathor-Sekhmet came to this place where the beer flooded the fields. Looking down, her gaze was caught by her own reflection, and it pleased her. She drank deeply of the beer, became drunk, fell asleep
