I dug deep and I think I was able to answer my own queston
Notes: p For further evidence John was referring to the Egyptians when he said they would be destroyed in their own “winepresses” you only need to turn to “The slaying of Men” myth. It was a myth that delth with RA and Isis-Hathor. Mankind was involved in blasphemy so he decided to kill mankind. “All night Hathor waded in the blood of those who had been slain, and on the morrow Ra feared Hathor would slay the remnant of the human race , wherefore he said unto his attendants, fetch to me swift messengers who can outstrip the wind’ When the messengers appeared the majesty of Ra bade them bring a great number of mandrakes from Elephantine. These Ra gave to Sekhmet, bidding her to pound them, and when this was done he mixed the mandrakes with some of the blood of those hathor had slain. Meanwhile servant-maids were busy preparing beer from barley
And into this Ra poured the mixture. In the mourning Ra bade his attendants carry the beer to the place where Hathor would seek to slay the remnant of mankind…And it came to pass that at dawn Hathor reached the place where the beer lay, flooding the fields four spans deep. She was pleased with her beautiful reflection, which smiled at her from the floods; and so deeply did she drink the beer that she became drunken,[just like the Babylon whore in Rev 17:6] and was no more able to destroy men” –Ancient Egyptian myths and legends. John would take this myth reverse it and write a literary parody in his frustration of the Egyptian religion. My evidence is found first in Rev 14: 8-10; “Babylon is fallen that great city, because she made all nations drink the wine of wrath of her fornication…the same shall drink the wine of the wrath of god, which is poured out without mixture.” Then in verse 19 & 20 “ and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of god. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles”.The reason John included Horse bridles? Because Isis-Hathor was also called “Mistress of horses, lady of the chariot”.Now I don’t need anymore evidence to prove the whore of Babylon was Isis-Hathor.
Further research might prove that the whore of Babylon may also be identified with one of the forms of Hathor, the goddess of love [ mother of harlots Rev 17:5 & whore Rev 17:15] and beauty, also as a moon-goddess.In Egyptian art she is represented as standing upon a lion, [Rev 13:2] her figure entirely nude [Rev 17: 16] ; in her right hand she holds lotus blossoms and a mirror while in her left are two serpents.At a later period she is still depicted in the same attitude, but on her head she wears the headdress of Hathor [which is a ball with two horns as is in Rev 13:11] On inscriptions of the eighteenth and nineteenth dynasties she is called ‘lady of heaven, mistress of all the gods,eye of Ra’see p.279 of Ancient Egyptian myths and legends By Lewis Spence.Rev called her the mother of Harlots and a whore. On p.360 of The Egyptian book of the dead Horus is called the son of Hathor and on p.280 it’s stated “the lady of flame, a symbol of the eye of Ra, coiled round a lotus flower”. It seems to me that John mixed up the whore of bablylon with Isis, Ra, Osiris and others into one evil person he felt was a false religion.
