Our Sun: A Powerful Source of Energy (Part I)

Throughout history, the Sun has been revered for its warmth, power and ability to support all living things on the planet. 

The construction of the Pyramids in Egypt and Mexico, Stonehenge in England and many other ancient monuments were based on following the Sun's path across the sky.

We take it for granted, but without the sun's power the temperature on Earth would be so cold that the planet could not support any form of life.

Early tribes switched from a hunter-gatherer society when they learned the skills of planting and tending crops. They paid attention to the sun's path in the heavens and grew their crops accordingly. With a steady supply of food available and without the need for so much travel, settlements and villages evolved.  The inhabitants had the spare time and stability to develop Art,Music, Science and Culture and our modern society began to take shape. 

Science especially would prove to do the most to change our lifestyles throughout the ages and it would be centuries before the next step; harnessing the Sun's energy would be developed.
