This morning a solar alignment caused the sun to shine on the face of the statue of King Ramses II in the Grand Egyptian Museum.
The Grand Egyptian Museum previously stated that the ancient Egyptians were able to construct the statue of King Ramses II in the Abu Simbel temple while the sun perpendicular to his face on the same date and time every year to celebrate his coronation day.
A team of architects and archaeologists at the Grand Egyptian Museum succeeded in simulating this phenomenon by establishing a statue of King Ramses II in the great hall of the museum in a corner through which the sun lights up the king’s face on February 21 of each year.
Studies and experiments were conducted on this phenomenon in 2019, and the museum announced it to the public in 2020.
