Sun God Cult

The Sun God Cult was an ancient religious tradition that worshiped the sun as a powerful deity representing life, energy, and divine authority. Many cultures, including the Egyptians with Ra, the ancient Chinese with the Sun Goddess, and the Aztecs with Huitzilopochtli, built temples, performed rituals, and celebrated the sun’s importance in sustaining life and affording wisdom. These cults often viewed the sun as a divine ruler and a symbol of creation, influencing art, architecture, and societal hierarchy. Their practices reflected a deep reverence for the sun’s crucial role in daily life and the cosmos.
