Gregory Sams, author of Sun of gOd. As Carl Sagan wrote, in Cosmos:
"Our ancestors worshiped the Sun, and they were far from foolish. And yet the Sun is an ordinary, even a mediocre star. If we must worship a power greater than ourselves, does it not make sense to revere the Sun and stars?"

And then lets look at the Sun.which is a Symbol, that is so closely related to many aspects of life in Kemet.The Sun is not a (God) The Sun is not God! they knew that! They knew that the Sun is responsible for all life on the planet.If the Sun was any closer to earth then it was,then all life on earth would be destroyed.If the Sun was any further away from the earth then it is then the earth would turn into a ball of ice.So there was a divine relationship between the Sun and the planet earth.
The Sun was responsible for all life on this planet." They realized that the SUN was the source,was a symbol of a source of a life behind the light.And they acknowledge that life behind light.And they gave the SUN various names as it moved across the sky. When the SUN arose in the morning they called it Khepera. A word that means re-birth or renewal so every morning the symbol of the creator was reborn on the east. When the Sun reached it's highest point at noon it was known as Ra" because this creator was at his highest point" Ra was on high." And then after the sun completed it's journey it's movement across the sky it set in the west where it was known as Amen. Which means concealed,concealed or hidden.'
The symbol of the creator was not hidden from view but it set in the western horizon but they knew with crystal clarity that is will be reward tomorrow as Khepera,and the cycle would begin all over again for eternity." So this was the symbol that represented their relationship with "eternity."So much so that it became an important part of life and death."Khepera (Khepri; Khoprer; G/R Xepera) - "Becoming" As a theophany of the solar-god, the scarab beetle (Scarabeus sacer) is large, golden, and winged. It rolls balls of dung, sometimes for long distances, in order to have a place in which to lay its eggs. The young beetles then spring forth from the ball of dung, seemingly as if created from nothing. In this process, the ancients saw a metaphor for the daily progress of the sun (rolling as a ball across the sky every day), and for the mystery of creation and birth. Khepera as a full scarab or a scarab-headed man is often shown either within the Disk of the physical sun, or rolling it, as it were, from the eastern mountains in the morning and back into Tem's watchful embrace in the evening. Khepera is associated with the life-giving powers of sunlight and with the act of sunrise itself, forming a special triad with Ra (noontime sun) and Tem (setting sun).
