AUDIO: Man has been fascinated by the sun since the beginning. In ancient Britain the Druids built a mysterious monument to it. In Egypt, the sun was worshiped as a diety and its passage from day to night was sanctified. The Mayans offered sacrifices to the sun. For the Aztecs, it measured time. Some artists reproduced it in colorful stones and gold. Others captured its mysterious quality on canvas. Children see it as a smiling face. It is the source of bounty. And, as in parts of Africa, an element of devestation. Early man brought the sun down from the sky to within his reach. Modern man journeys upward to understand it. Still, it remains a mystery.
