The myth
Wrath of the Buried Sun is a MYTHENOR spell inspired by a real myth of destruction. In the Book of the Heavenly Cow, the aged Ra learns that humanity is plotting against him. He sends his Eye, the goddess Hathor, who becomes Sekhmet and begins slaughtering the rebels, unable to stop. Ra saves humanity only with seven thousand jars of beer dyed red, which the goddess drinks believing it is blood. Afterwards, weary, Ra withdraws to the sky on the back of Nut, transformed into a cow.
Why it has this power
An epic mass-destruction spell: it destroys all of the opponent's monsters on the field. It is the most devastating card of the Necropolis, like the fury of the Eye of Ra that nearly wiped out humanity. Use it when the enemy field is full and yours is empty or safe.
Did you know
The Book of the Heavenly Cow was found inscribed in New Kingdom royal tombs, such as those of Tutankhamun and Seti I.
