The  Book of the Divine Cow is inscribed on the interior walls of the first shrine. When human kind began do defy him, the Sun God decided they must be annihilated. However, once his daughter followed his instructions and had burned a number of the disobedient men to death in the desert, the remorseful Sun God decided to save the rest of humankind by getting her drunk, so that she would forget her task. Finally, he rode away from the earth on the back of the Divine Cow. This text explains the Egyptian view of how evil came to enter the world through the act of man's rebellion, as such performing a similar function to the Biblical stories of The Fall of Man and The Flood.
