Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on the Egyptian myth is a continuously revised, community edited tertiary encyclopedia entry with no named author or peer review process, hence the lower tier, though useful for the myth's well documented narrative outline and its attested papyrus sources. NotesWikipedia's article on the New Kingdom narrative preserved on Papyrus Chester Beatty I, dated to the reign of Ramesses V, discovered at Thebes in 1931. Consulted 2026-08-11 for the contest structure between Horus and Set, Hathor's role in reviving Ra, and the Griffiths/Loprieno scholarly debate over the text's genre and origin.
