Yes, and let's not forget that the sun was driven daily across the sky by Apollo in his chariot.
You are looking for evidence to support your theory. That's a scientific method. Why not trust the scientists whose expertise that is?
Scientific evidence usually demands a higher bar than "some folks at some point believed lots of strange things and I'm going to cherry pick the ones that work for me." The fundamentalist Christians believe in a seven day creation and a garden of Eden. Does that make them true? Yet the sequences in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 contradict one another.
Better off to use scientific evidence to support scientific hypotheses. Rather than mythologies which will say whatever you want them to.
