Astronomical explanation for the phenomenon

The ancient Egyptians progress in astronomy .. Confirms full benefit public manifestation in their lives and they knew the properties sunrise and sunset and timing, location and length of the solar year.

Vtaamd sun on the Temple of Abu Simbel twice a year based on the scientific fact discovered by ancient Egyptians which that Sunrise Point Middle completely and sunset from a point west entirely on atheist of the month of March and point changes sunrise by a quarter degree almost every day to the north where up at sunrise to a point by 23 degrees and 27 minutes north-east in the twenty-second of June.

That the sun returns again to shine from the point of Middle exactly the same rate driven towards the north to reach the point of the Middle completely in the atheist of the month of September, and then point changes Sunrise at fourth degree almost to the south to become within 23 degrees and 27 minutes south of the East in the second Twenty of the month of December of each year and then return the same rate to reach the point of the Middle completely in the twenty-first of March.

Based on the ancient Egyptians discovered that the sun passes on every point during sunrise and sunset twice each year, and that the distance of time between them vary depending on each point for point Middle completely.

And the sun passes over the face of Ramses II twice a year, on the twenty-second of the month of October and the twenty-second of February, came as a result of choosing the ancient Egyptians point in the path of Sunrise away from the points on track with a time of four months to comply with the October 22 and 22 February every year and then they built the temple so that the direction of the path that the intervention of the sun on the face of Ramses II from the east of the narrow opening. And that the ancient Egyptians made this narrow slot so that if you entered the sun in the day and fell on the statue's face it the next day deviate deviation of a quarter of small degree this fall rays the next day on the wall of the hole does not fall on the statue's face.
