Description
Summary:This article, as a symbol, pointed to the historical and cultural foundations of the Sun and it has been researched in order to make sense of the many behaviors and beliefs that take place today. It will not be correct to classify concepts that are difficult to classify as symbols and cultures. Before the writing as a means of communication, the expression tool was the picture.

The first realistic drawings based on nature formed the basis of symbols like sun, tree and animal. wars, worship, objects, beliefs and myths are some of the many factors that make up the culture of the community.
