Hundreds huddle at dawn for solar spectacle at Egyptian temple
Tourists and locals gathered at a temple in southern Egypt on Thursday to witness a rare solar phenomenon. Twice a year, the sun illuminates the statues of Ramesses II and two gods inside the Great Temple of Ramses II. This event marks the pharaoh's ascension and birthday. The temple's alignment with the sun allows this to happen. Visitors, including Janice Souudi from Atlanta, said they were amazed by the temple's preservation and carvings.
In the 1960s, archaeologists relocated the temple to protect it from rising waters, ensuring the alignment remained intact. Performers celebrated outside with music and dance.
