Sun aligns with Abu Simbel for 22 minutes
The article discusses the phenomenon of the sun's ascendance on the Abu Simbel Temple in Egypt, which occurs twice a year in February and October, lasting up to 22 minutes. During this time, sunlight penetrates to illuminate the Holy of Holies and the royal mummies, reflecting the ingenuity of ancient Egyptian engineers in achieving an astronomical alignment with the temple's architecture. Scientific studies confirm that this phenomenon results from changes in the sun's position caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis and a precise use of astronomical architecture. Despite the relocation of the temple in the 1960s to save it from the waters of Lake Nasser, this remains an engineering miracle that defies time. This phenomenon is regarded as a symbol of the genius of the ancient Egyptians and their creative mastery of astronomical and engineering designs that have immortalized their civilization.
