Best Answer

Genesis 1:16 Genesis is ca:1490BC. The Egyptian city Heliopolis (City of the Sun) dates to ca:3100BC.

I suspect that there are older writings from Mesopotamian civilizations which might reference the sun.

Is motion relative to a reference point?

Yes. On Earth, the reference point is easy to define: it is either the ground, sky, or things. In space, it's not so easy, but we often use the Sun as a reference. Beyond the Sun, perhaps the motion of our solar system could be measured using the Milky Way galaxy as a reference.
