Untitled document  | Winged Sun Disk —— Symbols The winged sun disk is a very ancient symbol. In ancient Egyptian symbology wings signify ascension.
In ancient Egyptian religion, the sun disk became a primary symbol of Ra, the sun Neter. He was called the Sun of Righteousness with healing in his wings," a title which Christians later adopted for Jesus Christ.
The sun disk was carved over the doorways of many Egyptian tombs and temples, and it appears on many papyri. In the illustration above, the sun disk is carried on the wings of Horus, and flanked by two uraeus. | |
