Ra`s anger to the 5 children

One of the ancient Egyptian story's of Ra was that he became furious that 5 children of Nut, the Goddess of the Sky, were being born and could one day become the ruler of Egypt.   Ra did the best he ever could to stop them from being born.  But I guess he did not try hard enough  because the cunning edge of Thoth, the God of Wisdom out witted Ra.  Which is not to my surprise, since he is the God of Wisdom and all.  After a long time the 5 children grow up and Ra gets over his anger and welcomes them to his council chamber.  In my opinion that does not sound too pleasant. Dont people get locked up in chambers?

  3. How was he supposed to stop the 5 children form being born anyway? You would have to be one powerful god to do that!
