Wallis argues that many Christian symbols and rituals, such as facing east for worship, have roots in sun worship.

The Worship of the Sun

Sun worship was common in many ancient civilizations, including those in the Mediterranean and Near East.

If we connect this biblical theme to Atlantis, one could speculate that if the Atlanteans were a powerful civilization engaged in sun worship, and if Yahweh desired their worship and loyalty, their devotion to the Sun rather than to Yahweh could have been seen as a major spiritual transgression.

Archaeological Clues: If exploring potential sites for Atlantis, especially in areas associated with sun worship, archaeologists might look for large temple ruins or structures oriented towards solar phenomena (e.g., solstices).

Identifying Worship Sites: If sun worship was central to Atlantean religion, the search for Atlantis could focus on finding ancient sites aligned with solar worship, which might have been significant cultural or religious centers.

Narrative Support: This is the clearest reference to sun worship in the passage.
