The last event in the shaping of the world was the creation of man and all of the other living creatures that now walk upon this earth. Some say that man was fashioned on a pottery wheel and brought to life by the breath of Ra. Others say he was born of Ra's silvery tears. Man was blessed with fertile land along the mighty Nile River where they could grow crops and they were protected by many miles of desert in every direction. There were other places where man existed, of course, but I suppose they were not as important. The other gods and goddesses don't mention them much. Never the less, this marked the beginning of the world as we know it, therefore making it the climax of the creation of the earth.
There has been some hiccups in the relationship between Ra and humankind. After all, he did set Hathor against them for being rebellious, and this resulted in a massive slaughter. Rivers ran red from blood and Hathor rejoiced in her efforts. Ra quickly lost his lust for punishment after this, and now that the kinks have been worked out, all of us gods and goddesses work to keep the world and all of its inhabitants safe.
