Egypt, Abu Simbel

At Abu Simbel the dawn light streams down the temple hall to illuminate the statutes of the gods and Ramses deep in the temple -- twice a year. The events occur on 22 October and 22 February -- said to be Ramses' birthday and coronation day. Read up on the battle of Kadesh, which is the first battle in which we have detailed information from both sides. This is part of a larger video -- Egypt, Akhennaten & Alexander.
