so,
Nefertem (blue lotus god) -> Khepri (morning),Ra (sun god in noon), atum (night) -> created(jacking off) -> Shu & Tefnut
Ra -> created -> Harthor to find Shu & Tefnut
Ra -> created -> Human from tears and blood
Harthor sent to punish human for sinning -> Sekhmet (filled with rage and stronger than ra)
Sekhmet drink nile river (wined) -> became Harthor again

Ra divide Harthor into 3
  1. Hathor = love, beauty, joy (loved by sensei more)
  2. Sekhmet = wrath, justice, war
  3. Bastet = protection, fertility, home
and that's just the beginning, very convoluted and interesting, i might search more on wiki

I love how the artist already anticipated someone asking about Nefertem and Ra, since that is the first thing I think when reading that part. In the first part with Hathor, it explained that humans were created from Ra’s tears and blood, but in the second part about Ra, it explains that Nefertem turned into Ra after witnessing human mortality. Since humans were created after Ra already existed, it shouldn't be possible for Nefertem to turn into Ra after seeing human mortality. The only solution I can think of is that these two Ra myths are different versions, just like the author said.
Also, thank you for the translation, RaginASN, it was entertaining and very informative! I hope there will be another one for the second and third-year episodes!
