Abu Simbel great temple and the sun perpendicular ✍ We may not be exaggerating if we consider that the temple of Abu Simbel is the greatest huge building made by man on earth in his time. In fact, Ramses II intended to carve for himself an unparalleled building that surpassed all of the kings who preceded him 👀😍 Therefore, we find that he transformed the Abu Simbel rock into a trace that indicates his greatness and the immensity of his reign among kings. Indeed, the beach rocks here protrude towards the Nile and form a cone-shaped protrusion, and Ramses II adorned her face with engraving paintings of glory, victories and great works that he wrote for himself in the history record 💖 After tomorrow, Saturday, October 22, a unique astronomical phenomenon will occur in the temple of Abu Simbel, the great Bassoon, which is the sun perpendicular to the face of King Ramses II and the god Amun in the Holy of Holies in the temple, which is the last part of the temple. The old plan this to link astronomy and the rotation of the earth with architecture and construction 😲 In this article, we will try to shed light on this unique and strange phenomenon in several points ✍ ◀️ The phenomenon of perpendicularity of the sun begins after sunrise and the perpendicularity lasts about 20 minutes 🌞 ◀️ The sun enters from the front of the temple to travel a distance of 200 meters to reach the Holy of Holies 🤌 ◀️ The sun lights up three of the four statues in Its interior, which is about 60 m from the entrance to the temple, is 🌞 ◀️ The sun lights up the statue of Amun-Ra and perpendicular to the face of Ramses II and lights up the statue of Hor Akhet and the light will not reach the statue of the god Ptah, the god of darkness as he was called in the past 😲 ◀️ The phenomenon occurs twice a year, and they are on October 22 and February 22 ◀️ Before the construction of the High Dam, this phenomenon used to happen on October 21 and February 21 🤔 ◀️ After moving the Abu Simbel temple after it was cut to save it from drowning under the waters of the High Dam Lake in the early sixties from its old location, this phenomenon became repeated on October 22 and February 22 🤌 ◀️ Change in latitude and longitude after moving the temple 120 m west And at a height of 60 m, the reason for changing the date of the phenomenon to October 22 and February 22 instead of October 21 and February 21 👌 ◀️ There are many rumors about this phenomenon, the timing of its occurrence, and the reference to the king’s birthday and coronation, or the harvest festival. For the ancient Egyptians 👍 ◀️ There is a team from the Department of Astronomy at the Institute who headed to Abu Simbel Temple to give scientific lectures at the Nile Museum and prepare to monitor and follow up the phenomenon 💖 ◀️ This phenomenon was discovered in 1874, when Amelia Edwards and the team accompanying her monitored this phenomenon and recorded it in her book published in 1899 🙏🇪🇬🙏 The astronomical interpretation of the phenomenon ✍ The progress of the ancient Egyptians in astronomy confirms that they took full advantage of its phenomena in their public lives and that they knew precisely the characteristics of sunrise and sunset, times and locations and the length of the solar year 🌞 The sun perpendicular to the temple of Abu Simbel twice a year is based on a scientific fact discovered by the ancient Egyptians, which is that the sun rises from the exact east point and sets from the west point exactly on the twenty-first of March, then the sunrise point changes by about a quarter of a degree every day to the north, where On its sunrise, it reaches a point 23 degrees 27 minutes north-east on the twenty-second of June
