Africa: Abu Simbel Festival

Rate this item
(0 votes)

The Abu Simbel Festival is celebrated in both February and October. The festival celebrates two very important instances in the life of Ramses II.

The Abu Simbel temples were created to honor Pharaoh Ramses II and his wife Nefertari. Through precise engineering and planning, the pharaoh angled his twin temples so that twice a year- once on the anniversary of his rise to the throne, and on his birthday- natural light would fill the inner sanctum. The beautiful display can only be seen at sunrise and is culminated by a festival including music, dance and food.

October 22 and February 22 are the upcoming dates for the festival!

    They consist of millions of limestone blocks; although theories abound, no one is quite sure to this day how they were constructed. At more than 450 feet tall, for several millennial the Great Pyramid of Khufu was the tallest man-made structure in the world. Thanks a lot. Regards,

    There is much debate on how to make a traditional ratatouille. One method is to simply sauté all of the vegetables together. Some cooks, including Julia Child, insist on a layering approach, where the eggplant and the zucchini are sautéed separately, while the tomatoes, onion, garlic and bell peppers are made into a sauce. Thanks for sharing.

    Through precise engineering and planning, the pharaoh angled his twin temples so that twice a year- once on the anniversary of his rise to the throne, and on his birthday- natural light would fill the inner sanctum.
