In religio-mythology, sun disc refers to the Egyptian model of the sun, artistically, in pre-dynastic times, depicted as a circular disc, carried on the head of the god Horus in the form of a Hawk (or falcon), and in later times as the myth of the god Ra carrying the sun on his solar barque, among other later sun god variants.

Halo
In c.200AD, in the Roman recension, the Egyptian sun disc became, via artistic evolution, the Christian “halo”, and Horus (or Osiris-Horus) became Jesus.
