In the Contendings of Horus and Seth, the sun god (Ra) becomes angry when he is insulted by the baboon god Babi and lies down on his back. This implies that the creator sun god was sinking back into the inert state that would mean the end of the world.

if you ever feel like you overreact too much just remember, Ra got so upset about being insulted that he tried to end the world
