The ancient Egyptian term for the disk of the sun was Aten, but this term initially could be applied to any disk, including even the surface of a mirror or the moon ; the term could also mean "throne" or "place" of the sun god. The word Aten was written using the hieroglyphic sign for "god" because the Egyptians tended to personify certain expressions. Eventually, the Aten was conceived as a direct manifestation of the sun god - most likely - Re-Horakhty.
