The Abu Simbel Sun Festival Blue B (KS2) Test 1 The Abu Simbel Sun Festival Mum, Dad, Max and I just got back from our holiday in Egypt. Egypt is a fascinating country, with a rich history going back thousands of years. We experienced all sorts of incredible things there – pyramids, mummies, museums and more! The highlight for me, though, was taking part in the Abu Simbel Sun Festival. Abu Simbel is in the south of Egypt. There are two vast temples there, which were carved out of a mountain over 3000 years ago at the time of Pharaoh Ramses II. At the front of the temples are four huge statues of the Pharaoh. It’s amazing to think such enormous statues could be built all that time ago when there were no machines to cut the stone. Then, over hundreds of years, sand completely covered the massive temples, and for centuries no one even knew they existed! They were rediscovered by accident in 1813 by an explorer from Switzerland. The area was then excavated to reveal the amazing temples and statues. As if that wasn’t amazing enough, in 1964, the whole temple was cut into blocks and transported to a new location. This was done so that it wouldn’t be swamped when a new dam was built nearby. A team of engineers and archaeologists from around the world came together to save the temples. In 4 years they had moved them block by block to a higher location, just 210 metres away. Luckily, we arrived at Abu Simbel at just the right time of year – 21st October. This meant that we were there the day before the Abu Simbel Sun Festival. The Sun Festival occurs twice a year to celebrate an event that happens at the temples. On 22nd February and 22nd October the rising sun hits the temples at just the right angle so that it shines into the internal chamber, and floods it with light for about six minutes. During this time, several statues in the chamber light up as the sun shines on them, including a statue of Ramses II. Of course, when the temples were moved, the archaeologists had to make sure that the statues were still at exactly the correct angle to catch the sun at dawn on the dates of the Sun Festival. On the morning of 22nd October we had to get up extremely early to be part of the action! We went to the temples before sunrise and waited patiently inside the chamber as the crowds started to gather. As the sun rose at 6.20 a.m. we watched the piercing light hit the tops of the statues and slowly light up the chamber. It was remarkable, like nothing I’ve ever seen or experienced before. Afterwards, we joined the Egyptian people in a celebration dance outside the temples. People sang and played drums – it was lots of fun! My family and I had an incredible time at the Sun Festival. I’ve already started planning my next travel adventure. Whatever happens, I know I’ll definitely be coming back to see even more of Egypt.

ABSTRACT There is a tradition according to which the ancient Egyptians were the most civilized people that ever lived. This researcher contests this tradition and argue that the Semitic Peoples and the archaeological findings in Egypt are primary in developing the construct according to which human civilization started from Egypt. The purpose of this research is to firstly shed light on the reasons that led to the development of the tradition of the ancient Egyptian civilization, and secondly, to highlight the implications of the perception of the ancient Egyptian civilization on other Africans.

Among them, Abu Simbel, one of the Egyptian icons, whose relocation was minutely followed by the Spanish press. This paper analyzes this coverage and its impact in Spain, one of the participant countries. Keywords Abu Simbel, Journalism, Spain, Rescue Archaeology, Egypt The origin of the relocation and ethical-technical problems Since the formation of UNESCO in 1945, the organisation had never received a request such as the one they did in 1959, when the decision to build the Aswan High Dam (Saad el Aali)—first planned five years prior—was passed, creating the artificial Lake Nasser in Upper Egypt. This would lead to the spectacular International Monuments Rescue Campaign of Nubia that was completed on 10 March 1980. It was through the interest of a Frenchwoman named Christiane Desroches Noblecourt and UNESCO—with the international institution asking her for a complete listing of the temples and monuments that were to be submerged—as well as the establishment of the Documentation Centre in Cairo that the transfer was made possible.
