Eternal Scientific Miracles of Ancient Egypt:
For about the 6,554 time since 1264 B.C. the sunlight entered the Great
Temple of Abu Simbel of the Egyptian King Ramses the Great, in Abu
Simbel city, south Egypt.
1,130 km south of Cairo on the west bank of Nasser Lake, Egyptians celebrate the scientifically-miraculous man-made solar phenomenon of the solar illumination of the innermost chamber of the 33m-tall Great Temple of Abu Simbel twice per year.
The two temples of Abu Simbel city or Abshek city in the Ancient Egyptian Language were carved in the Nile mountains of South Egypt 3,277 years ago to commemorate the pyrrhic victory of the Ancient Egyptian Empire, the world superpower at that time, over the Indo-European Anatolian Hittie Empire which was the rival of the Ancient Egyptian New Kingdom at that province of the vast Egyptian Empire.
The significance of this miraculous site doesn't stop at this military commemoration only, on the contrary, the bigger temple of Abu Simbel which is better known to archeologists as the Great Temple of Abu Simbel has a more astonishing tale to tell.
Twice per year on February 21, and October 21, the larger temple of Abshek city which lies beside the temple of the publicly-loved Egyptian Queen Nefertari, the beloved wife of Ramses II, witnesses a rare and a unique astronomical, yet man-made, phenomenon which was perfectly engineered and calculated by the ancient mathematicians, astronomers, architects, and scientists of the Muslim-dominated country of Egypt.
The ancient ancestors of Egyptian Muslims succeeded in applying their advanced theoretical knowledge to real life represented in a world-unique landmark on the land of Egypt.
Ancient Egyptians designed the temple's chamber to be illuminated by the sun on two days per year only.
Ancient Egyptian scientists constructed the inner chamber of the Great Temple of Abu Simbel to be in total darkness throughout the year, which was sharply calculated and documented by them for the first time in human history, and they intended to light the chamber with sunlight on two dates solely.
The first date is February 21 which memorializes the crowning of the Egyptian King Ramses II, while the 21st of October commemorates his birthday. After saving the temples from drowning beneath the water of Nasser Lake in 1968, UNESCO relocated the temples and worked hard to keep this man-made astronomical phenomenon going. The new coordinates and the 210m-higher elevation obligated the phenomenon to take place 24 hours post the actual two dates the Ancient Egyptians scheduled for the phenomenon, however, the phenomenon is still occurring till now on both dates of February 22, and October 22.
