The Solar alignment over the Grand temple of Abu Simbel is one of the Ancient Egypt phenomenons.
The rays of the sun pe*****te into the temple and lightening the three statues for Ramses II and Amon twice a year; once in February 22 celebrating agriculture and cultivation season, and the second in October 22 celebrating flooding season. Both dates also reflect the date of Ramses II birth and his coronation.
The location of the four statues was chosen so they would darken because Ptah was the god of darkness.
