The priesthood of the temple of the sun created the Heliopolitan cosmogony where the god Atum played the role of the creator.
The temple had another group of divinities that included Iunet, Hathor, and Atum, whose statues were discovered in a hidden storage pit.
In later times, Atum assumes the symbolism of the setting sun, receiving the Boat of Ra as it descends to the western horizon.
