Having reached the borders of Ethiopia, Osiris had the Nile lined with dikes, so that its waters would no longer flood the country beyond what was useful, and so that by means of sluices it could be made to drain the quantity necessary for the land. He then crossed Arabia along the Red Sea[3], and continued his route to India and the limits of the earth. He founded a large number of cities in India, and among others Nysa, so called in memory of the city in Egypt where he had been raised. There he planted ivy, which still grows today in India only in this one place. Finally, he left other marks of his passage in this region; this is what led the descendants of these Indians to say that Osiris was originally from their country.

Amun is Helios, the all-seeing, all-knowing, the one through whom everything becomes visible. Eratosthenes of Cyrene writes of Orpheus in the Catasterisms: "But Orpheus paid no cult to Dionysus. He worshipped only the supreme god, Helios, under the name of Apollo, and often, rising at night, he would sit on Mount Pangaea, there to await the rising of the Sun, and greet it first with his melodious sounds." In classical literature, Helios is also sometimes equated with the god of the Olympian gods, Zeus, whose eye he is, implicitly or explicitly. 26 For example, Hesiod says that the Sun is the eye of Zeus.
This view is probably taken from Proto-Indo-European religion, in which the Sun was supposedly the eye of Dyēus Phter. or Dyaus Pataer is Brahma who is Surya with his chariot of the sun, or Brahma is Shiva who is Osiris who is Apis who is Ptah who is Atum via his tongue who is Amun and who is Nefertum the sacred lotus from which the sun blooms just like Brahma,
Amun is Brahma who is Surya who is Dyaus Pater, Amun is Helios. Chariot of Helios: The solar chariot is a cosmological allegory present in several mythologies and symbolizing the course of the sun across the sky. The chariot is generally pulled by a team of horses and transports the Sun-god from east to west during the day, while it makes the opposite journey during the night.

Benben, in Heliopolitan Egyptian mythology, represents the primordial mound that emerged from Nun, the primordial ocean, and on which the sun first appeared.

The benben stone refers to the sacred stone of the sun temple of Heliopolis upon which the first rays of the sun fell. Benben is often cited as the home of the bird Benu, the incarnation of the soul of Ra, and as the possible prototype of the pyramidions crowning obelisks or pyramids.

The word benben, derived from the root wbn "to rise shining," also refers to pyramidions in ancient Egyptian. Benben later became a god whose incarnation was stone. He protected the temple of Heliopolis.
The benben or pyramidion, representing the mountain of creation, is perceptibly embedded in architectural forms such as the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sun Temple of Abu Gorab. These large-scale constructions do not simply serve as memorials to creation, but, at each dawn, they function as a medium for recreating and, therefore, regenerating the beginning of the world, as the sun shines above them. An alabaster lamp in the shape of a Nile lotus, from the tomb of Tutankhamun, fulfills the same function in relation to a comparable creation myth, for when lit, the lamp recreates the moment when the sun god opened his eyes in Nefertum's lotus and then space, time, and creation came into existence. As evidence of both monumental architecture and simple decorative art, these Egyptian works are truly "magical."
