Sometimes, when Ra and the Netjeru are fighting a/pep, they lose. 

The Egyptians thought that happened during solar eclipses. The sun always rose until the few times it didn’t and was swallowed by darkness right before their eyes.

There was fear and dread after Ra’s barque was destroyed. The Netjeru were wounded and exhausted. The people worried that the sun would never rise again.

But the Netjeru rebuilt their barque and gathered their weapons. a/pep might have won the battle, but They would win the war.
