A 3000 years old event that takes place at the spectacular temple of Ramses II. The temple interior is normally dark, but twice a year the sun aligns perfectly to illuminate the inner statues of Ra (the sun god) and Amun (the king of the gods). Only Ptah, the god of darkness, remains in the shadow.
