Sun Gods

Almost all civilization has their own sun god, but there are many different between them.


Greek sun god, Apollo.

For example, the sun god of Greece is the son of Zeus. Here's my correction, for your information, sometimes Apollo was named as Helios (the titan I did mentioned before). He plays harp and always carries bow and arrows. I've read about him, nearly nothing bad about him can be found. He might be the only holy god in Greek mythology.


Egyptian sun god, Amum Ra (the symbol of the staff).

Ra, the famous major god of Egypt was an eagle-headed god. He, however, is different with Apollo. He is the friend of Osiris, they often appear together in pictures.


The desert sun is killing hot.

In the Sahara desert, sun is the most recent murderer. This might be the reason why the Egyptian reckoned that the sun is the mightiest.


The sun god's mask of Maya.

As I said, Mayan also worshiped sun god. Besides of serpent, sun remains as a important thing for Middle American. Corps and the jungle grows better because of the sun light. Mayan sun god is always a stone statue, we haven't know what the sun god looks like yet...


Chinese sun dragon.

Chinese believed that in ancient time there were ten suns, the dragons take turns to bring the suns to travel along the sky. But one day all of the suns wanted to come out together, so people suffer from heat and dry. At last, a god shot nine down but he left one. The suns are the sons of the gods, therefore the hero was punished to become a human.
