Rai stones are an example of Sun worship
The shape of the rai stones represents the sun, and is an example of ancient sun worship. This same shape is also used to symbolize the sun in the writings of ancient Egyptian and Chinese civilizations.123.122.8.92 (talk) 02:08, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

- Please see Wikipedia:No original research. It's an interesting connection, but unless we have a clear-cut source that backs the claim "Rai stones are an example of Sun worship" then it shouldn't be included in the article. FallingGravity (talk) 04:38, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- How can you confirm "Rai stones are an example of Sun worship" unless you go back in time and interview the people who made them? Finding meaning in its symbolism is the best anybody can go upon. 123.122.12.252 (talk) 15:30, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
