Sakro Sawel means “sacred sun” in Proto-Indo-European. On this website I explore the history and practice of the ancient religion of the sun, which was the largest religion for thousands of years across the world.

The Ancient Religion of the Sun

This book details the history of the ancient Religion of the Sun, based on historical, archaeological, linguistic, and genetic evidence. The rediscovery of this lost global religion has the potential to cause one of the biggest shifts in our understanding of history. Essential reading for those wishing to understand ancient mysteries and religion.

Ancient Solstice

This book explains why so many ancient peoples had aligned their ancient sites to the solstices and equinoxes – revealing it wasn’t simply to do with agriculture, but a profound spiritual belief that saw the journey to heaven and enlightenment written in the sun and stars.

Opening of the Sphinx Avenue in Egypt and its connection to the ancient Religion of the Sun

Lara Atwood2023-04-17T10:09:11-07:00December 4th, 2021|64 Comments

What an absolutely spectacular event. On Nov 25th 2021, Egypt celebrated the restoration and reopening of its ancient "Sphinx Avenue" with music, fireworks, and a dramatic recreation of an ancient Egyptian religious procession. For me, it's incredible to see, because it recreates what a ceremony of the Religion of the Sun would have looked like (though with some modern-day artistic license) in its ancient heartland in Egypt. [...]

Interview with Sam Tripoli on Zero

Had such a fun discussion with Sam Tripoli the other day on his spiritually focused podcast Zero. We chatted for around an hour about a lot of things - ancient religion, Atlantis, giants (including the Nephillim, Annunaki etc.), what Jesus really taught and how it was excluded from the Bible and shares much in common with ancient paganism [...]

The Lost World Religion – from Atlantis to Paganism

Lara Atwood2023-04-17T10:11:43-07:00August 3rd, 2021|93 Comments

I finally got this video out! It's one hour long, and has taken a lot of work to put together. I wanted to give a big picture overview of the theory I present in my book The Ancient Religion of the Sun. It was so hard to decide what to include and what to leave out while still keeping it a reasonable length, since there is so much to cover, but I hope this is about right. [...]
