Is it true that in Egyptian mythology, Ra sent Sekhmet to destroy humanity, and a flood of beer stopped her?
Yes. Two reference sources state the Egyptian myth in which Ra sent Sekhmet to destroy humanity and she was stopped when a plain was flooded with beer (dyed red) that she drank until too inebriated to continue. Two further museum-style descriptions confirm only that Ra sent Sekhmet against his enemies, without the beer episode.
