Is Sekhmet good or evil?

Описание: Sekhmet: Egypt’s lioness of flame, plague, and healing—did her blood-soaked legend inspire the very idea of the vampire?
Travel back 4,000 years as we trace the “Eye of Ra,” red beer, and a goddess who turns from destroyer to healer—and why her myth still bites today.

From the “Book of the Heavenly Cow” to Karnak’s Festival of Intoxication, we pull on threads of bloodlust, transformation, and divine wrath to ask a juicy question: are vampires the night-shadow of a sun goddess? Stay for the psychology, archaeology, and the moment beer (dyed red!) saved humanity—at least, according to the ancients.
