Sun mythology/Talk

<please expand, and do answer this question: are all those people really worshipping the sun, or are they there only to see the sun's rays line up to the central avenue?>

- Supposedly this was shut down by the British police, and the site has been closed every solstice for decades.

I saw them this year on CNN

- The British police now allow limited access to the moronic masses at the Stonehenge site at the summer solstice. And with the exception of a few (ho-ho) so-called druids, who are there to bolster their loony ego-trips, very few of them are there for much other than to be stoned out of their faces. There are very few serious British sun-worshippers for fairly obvious reasons and these few are usually to be found where the sun shines i.e. on holiday in the Greek islands, etc... sjc

It seems that the Persian Mithras and the Roman Mithras were not the same God. The Roman soldiers worshipped Mithras in caves which would be an odd form of worship for a sun-god. There is apparently much scholarly debate on this subject.
