"Birth of the Sun" was inspired by the Ancient Egyptian myth about the birth of the sun. There are several different myths that overlap hear and there. At the beginning, there was a sea of nothing. Out of this the first mound of earth formed. The original 4 goddesses assumed the form of snakes, and the original 4 gods assumed the form of frogs. A scarab takes flight giving birth to the sun.
