The next total
in Europe is not until 2081 so mark August 2, 2027: when Egypt will witness a very special celestial spectacle.

The Moon will completely pass in front of the Sun and at the point of longest totality, the Sun will be completely covered for an incredible 6 minutes and 23 seconds. This makes the 2027 solar eclipse the longest total solar eclipse of the entire 21st century.

For astronomy enthusiasts, this is an exceptional experience and Egypt offers the perfect setting for it. Whether on a trip to Luxor, along the Nile, or on the coast of the Red Sea: the natural spectacle can be ideally combined with culture, history, and a relaxed Egyptian vacation.

No wonder that a large visitor rush is already expected. Anyone who wants to experience this once-in-a-lifetime event live should therefore start planning their trip accordingly.

In this wall scene from the tomb of Ramesses III, tomb KV11 in the Valley of the Kings, Horus and Thoth hold the king's hands and raise their other hand in benediction to him. It's interesting to note here that all three figures wear a bull's tail suspended from their belt - normally this is something you only see on the king!

تمثالي ممنون
يقع التمثالان في مدخل الطريق المؤدي إلى معبد الملك أمنحتب الثالث بالبر الغربي
يبلغ ارتفاع كل تمثال حوالي 18 متراً وهما منحوتان من الحجر الرملي الكوارتزي الذي تم نقله من محاجر الجبل الأحمر في القاهرة
لماذ أطلق عليهما تمثالي”ممنون”؟
“ممنون” يعود إلى الإغريق الذين اعتقدوا أن التمثالين يخصان البطل الأسطوري “ممنون” الذي ذُكر في ملحمة الإلياذة.
في العصور الرومانية، كان التمثال الشمالي يُصدر أصواتاً غامضة في الصباح نتيجة تمدد الحجر بسبب الحرارة، مما جعل الناس يعتقدون أنه يناجي والدته
كانت الأصوات التي تصدر عن التمثال الشمالي تجذب الزوار من مختلف أنحاء العالم القديم
توقفت هذه الظاهرة بعد أعمال الترميم التي أجراها الإمبراطور الروماني سيبتيموس سيفيروس في القرن الثالث الميلادي.

Swallowing Magic: How the Ancient Egyptian Magician Became a Star

The idea of swallowing magic appears across several ancient Egyptian texts. Some passages describe the magician swallowing heka, filling his belly with it, and quenching his thirst on it. From there, the magic moved from his belly into his spirit, spreading through every part of his being, both physical and spiritual. In this way the magician proved the depth of his cunning and his worthiness to claim the title “son of Ra,” lord of the sun, and “son of Thoth,” lord of the moon. Other texts add that the magician gained his knowledge and wisdom from sacred books kept in the temple of the sun god or the temple of the moon god.

Without heka, a person could not reach eternal life. As the soul passed through the gates of death, the magical texts gave it courage and the knowledge it needed to overcome the obstacles ahead and “go forth into the day,” that is, to be reborn.

The magician travels through the heavens, and when he passes the stars of Orion, the symbol of Osiris, he stands before them and declares that he has swallowed the energy of life, filled himself with the spirits of the primeval gods who took part in creating the universe, and that he knows their names. Orion hears the magician’s call and confirms that he has truly learned the secret name of every power, forgetting none of them. At that moment the magician is reborn as a star, shining its light in the sky.

This is the magician’s ultimate goal, the highest purpose of his journey through life: to become a star lighting the way for others.
