God is and was associated with the sun because of its glimmer and other such distinguishing characteristics. In the Incan Empire rulers rising to power underwent the ritual of having sap mixed with gold dust rubbed all over their bodies. This gave rise to the legend of the “golden man” or “el dorado”.
