Grace mistranslated "Manos" as "men," but "Manos" actually means "Hands." I;m not claiming to understand how "Hands of the sun" makes sense.

been a while...
I'll check back with you, if I can find it again...
--------------------
edit:
quicker than I thought...
could have been a simple error in translation... the internet wasn't that widespread yet in the mid-nineties...
what I found:
I did remember the saying "mano a mano", of course... which means man on man... maybe that's what slipped into this document here...
or, second variant...
there is the usage of mano in a way meanin buddy, or pal...
"oye, mano"... "hey, man"
could be that whoever wrote this reference document for the game did rely on their own questionable knowledge of spanish...?
maybe not really answering any questions here, if there were any... but, I had the time anyway... :D

That usage is common in Mexico. "Mano" comes from "hermano", which means "brother".
"oye, mano" -> "hey, brother"
SpikedSoul: I did remember the saying "mano a mano", of course... which means man on man... maybe that's what slipped into this document here... "mano a mano" can be translated to English as "hand in hand" (in close association).
I read in some posts that they also made quite a lot of mistakes in the German part of the game, but, as I am not German, I cannot verify that. What do you think?
Regardless, it is one of the best adventure games I ever played. For sure in my top-5.
