| Abstract | ||||
| The sun is considered a giver of light, warmth, and growth. Through observing the sun's rise behind the eastern hills (its birth) and its setting behind the western hills (its death), the sun was recognized as a symbol with various connotations in ancient Egyptian art. It appeared in the form of " Khepri," representing the sun at sunrise; as the god "Ra," representing the sun at noon, whom the ancient Egyptians considered the sole creator of the universe; and as "Atum," representing the sun at sunset. The sun also appeared as the "winged solar disk," a symbol of the sun god whose worship center was" Ain Shams", and as "Aten," one of the manifestations of Ra in the solar disk. In the era of King Akhenaten, Aten was venerated as the sole deity. These and other forms were integrated with various symbols in ancient Egyptian art, playing a significant role in ancient Egyptian civilization. | ||||
