The cult of the Muisca centered on two main deities; [[Sué]] for the Sun and [[Chía (goddess)|Chía]] for the Moon. They developed a vigesimal (based on 20) [[Muisca calendar|calendar]] and knew exactly the timing of the [[summer solstice]] (June 21), which they considered the Day of ''Sué'', the Sun god. The Sué temple was in [[Sogamoso]], the sacred city of the Sun and the seat of the [[Iraca]] (priest). The Muisca name of the city, ''Suamox'' or ''Sugamuxi'', means "City of the Sun". On the [[solstice]], the ''zaque'' went to Suamox for a major festival where ritual offerings were made. It was the only day of the year when the ''zaque'' showed his face, as he was considered a descendant of the Sun god.<ref>Ocampo López, 2013, Ch.13, p.80</ref>
