Sun Worship explores the pervasive phenomenon of solar veneration across diverse cultures, revealing how the sun has been central to religious practices, mythologies, and artistic expressions throughout history. From ancient Egypt's Ra to the Inca's Inti, the book uncovers the profound influence of the sun on societal structures and core beliefs. It examines how prehistoric societies and ancient civilizations alike recognized the sun's life-giving power, shaping their rituals, iconography, and understanding of the natural world.

For instance, beyond deities, the sun's symbolism extends into art and architecture, reflecting humanity's deep-seated reverence for celestial phenomena.
