The sun in ancient Egypt was a source of life for planets and thus animals - and so too for people, as we have observed in the modern age, so too did the ancient people realize then. They saw this aspect of life as a divinity, a miracle, so created a identity and story to go along with the rising and 'falling' of the sun, it is a natural question to ask - where did the sun go every night? These stories became the seeds of the religion of the ancient Egyptian people.
