Abstract
The first source of medicinal light was the sun. The ancient Egyptians of 4000 years ago were sun worshippers. In the fourteenth century BC, the Pharaohs began to identify themselves with the sund (Sun god Amen-Ra) and attached RA to their names. In Japan, as in ancient Egypt, the mystery of the sun is elevated to a theistic plane.
