Visitors observe sun alignment at Abu Simbel
The article highlights the phenomenon of the sun's alignment with the face of King Ramses II at the Abu Simbel Temple, which occurs twice a year, on October 22 and February 22. The event lasts for 20 minutes as sunlight penetrates 60 meters into the temple until reaching the Holy of Holies, where it aligns with the statues of Ramses and the gods. The event was attended by the Governor of Aswan and thousands of tourists from around the world. It included folk arts performances during the phenomenon, which underscores the scientific and astronomical achievements of the ancient Egyptians from 3,300 years ago. This phenomenon is one of a kind, reflecting the genius of engineering and sculpture of the Pharaonic civilization.
