In the lush temple Cusco anthropomorphic image of Viracocha, turned to face the East, was surrounded by many sparkling rays. Four suns the Aztecs called the four ages of human existence that preceded the fifth (the one we live in). These epochs are connected with the four natural elements, the cardinal points and the deities. First the Sun, NAUI-Ocelotl (four-Jaguar), associated with the Earth, the North and the God Stole symbolizes the night movement of the Sun. Second, NAUI-Ehecatl (four-Wind), associated with Air, West and the God Quetzalcoatl, depicted as a monkey with puffed-out cheeks, is the setting Sun.

Dance of the Sun(see) is one of the most important rituals. South America's most Important cultural region in which the Sun was worshipped, is, without doubt, Ancient Peru, where the Sun was viewed as the ancestor and patron of the people of the Incas. Inca Garcilaso de La VEGA (1539-1616) describes the sun temple of the capital Cusco: "All four walls from top to bottom was covered with Golden plates and bars. In front of that above the main altar, stood the figure of the Sun, consisting of a Golden plate, which was twice as thick compared to the slabs which covered the walls. Figure with her round face and her fiery rays and flames were made from a solid piece exactly as it was depicted by artists. It was so big it covered the entire front of the Church from one wall to the other... On both sides of the image of the Sun was located his sons dead bodies of kings, unknown to anyone embalmed in such a way that they looked like alive. They sat on their set at the gold beam, gold chairs, on which they used to be... side the Gates of the temple were made in the form of gold-covered portals. The walls of the temple with the external hand held rods are made of gold, and more than a cubit thick planks that covered the building like a crown." The identification of the Sun with gold in the Andes of South America was carried out with such consistency, as obviously no other place and symbolic the perfect connection of the immutability of the "noble metal" with the mummification also evident, as in drevnepersidskih temples of the moon, where the female ancestors of the head of family was clothed in silver and venerated.Australia and Oceania Celestial phenomena do not occupy in Australian mythology, such a large place in developed mythologies.

(from the article Australian mythology) myths of the Northern and South-Eastern tribes of Australia along with the totemic ancestors there are also more generalized and apparently developed later, the images of "datateknik" of mythical heroes.

They complete the work of their predecessors, establish marriage classes and administered the ritual of the great mother — Kunapipi (Kunapipi), which partially are staged in our theatre of their actions. Sisters settle in a certain place, build a hut, gather food. One of them gives birth to a child. The sisters try to cook yams, snails and other food, but plants and animals come to life and jump out of the fire, the rain begins. The sisters try dancing to ward off the rain and terrible serpent-the rainbow that comes close to him and swallows the first totem animals and plants ("food" sisters, and then two women and a child. Being in the belly of the snake sisters are hurting him. The snake spits sisters. The child comes to life from the bite of ants. Sister Sauvaluck (as they are called Glengary and some other tribes) represent a peculiar variant of the same mothers as female, embodying fertility. As the snake-rainbow is widely known in most parts of Australia, combined ideas about the water spirit, serpent-monster (the germ of the "dragon"), magic crystal (it reflects a rainbow spectrum), used by sorcerers.
