One trail I keep returning to in Atlantis research is sun worship, and the idea of an Atlantean Temple of the Sun.
Did Atlantis worship the sun?
In that vision, men stand in Yahweh’s Temple, turn their backs to the sanctuary, face east, and bow to the sun.
Can an Atlantean Temple of the Sun still work as a labeled hypothesis when I read Donnelly-style diffusion claims beside that biblical trail?
I keep those layers separate: what Ezekiel describes, what ancient sun cults show historically, and what Atlantis writers claimed.
The chapter moves through several abominations before it reaches the sun.
Sun worship is the climax, not the opening detail.
They bow low to the sun in the east.
Then [God] brought me into the inner court of the House of the LORD, and there, at the entrance to the Temple of the LORD, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men, their backs to the Temple of the LORD and their faces to the east; they were bowing low to the sun in the east.
This is eastward sun worship inside Yahweh’s house.
The body language matters: backs to the sanctuary, faces to the rising sun.
He does not describe an Atlantean Temple of the Sun.
I use the verse as a biblical anchor for sun worship judged inside a holy place.
Sun cults were common across the ancient world.
Sun bowing in 8:16 fits that same pattern of adopted practice.
In the Andes, Inca religion honored the sun at Coricancha, often called the Temple of the Sun, in Cuzco.
These examples show that sun worship was widespread and architecturally ambitious.
Ignatius Donnelly’s Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882) is the main popular source for the Atlantean sun-worship claim.
Donnelly argued that the mythology of Egypt and Peru preserved Atlantis’s original religion, and that this religion was sun worship.
On Sacred Texts, his chapter on Greek gods and Atlantean kings states that Peru’s sun, moon, and planet worship “probably represents very closely the simple and primitive religion of Atlantis,” with sacrifices of fruits and flowers.
There Donnelly again says Atlantean religion was pure and simple, with fruit and flower offerings, and that they worshipped the sun.
He parallels Egyptian temples to Ra and Peru’s sun festival Raymi.
He did not publish a dig that uncovered an Atlantis Temple of the Sun.
In the on-site sketch of The Story of Atlantis, Atlantean religion is described as shifting toward sun cults and sacrifices in later decadence.
Donnelly treats sun worship as Atlantis’s primitive original religion passed to Egypt and Peru.

First, Ezekiel 8:16 is a verified text about sun worship inside Yahweh’s Temple.
Second, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Peru show that sun temples and solar cults were real historical phenomena.
Coricancha is a known Inca Temple of the Sun.
Third, an Atlantean Temple of the Sun is a research hypothesis.
I use it when I ask whether sun-centered religion could help explain both diffusion stories and a judgment pattern like the one Ezekiel dramatizes.
In Ezekiel, turning from the sanctuary to the sun marks betrayal and invites judgment.
In my research voice, I ask whether a similar spiritual pattern could frame stories of Atlantis’s fall: a powerful culture oriented to the sun rather than to Yahweh, then destroyed.
My job is to hold those facts while still testing whether Temple of the Sun language clarifies the search.
Did Atlantis worship the sun?Atlantis writers such as Ignatius Donnelly said yes: sun worship was Atlantis’s original religion, preserved in Egypt and Peru.
I treat an Atlantean Temple of the Sun as a labeled research idea, not as proven dig evidence.
They bow low to the sun in the east.
The verse describes sun worship inside the sanctuary complex.
Did Atlantis have a Temple of the Sun?No excavated Atlantean Temple of the Sun is known.
Peru’s Coricancha is a historical Inca Temple of the Sun.
How does this differ from Egypt and Peru sun cults?Egypt’s Ra cult and Peru’s Inca sun temple are documented historical religions with real sites and texts.
Atlantean sun worship, in Donnelly and related writers, is reconstructed by comparing those cultures and reading them as colonies or heirs of Atlantis.
I can look for solar orientation, Temple of the Sun language, and judgment narratives without collapsing them into one claim.
Egypt and Peru supply historical sun-cult models.

Significance: The name "Shimshon" (Samson) is suggested to be derived from a flower associated with the sun, possibly related to the Hebrew word "shemesh" (sun).
