في حدث تاريخي وفريد من نوعه، شهد المتحف المصري الكبير ظاهرة تعامد الشمس على وجه تمثال رمسيس الثاني، ملك الفراعنة العظيم. وقد كان هذا الحدث نتيجة لجهود متواصلة من قبل فريق من الخبراء الفلكيين والهندسيين الذين قاموا بدراسة دقيقة لموقع وزاوية الشمس والتمثال، واختاروا المكان المثالي لإعادة إحياء هذه الظاهرة التي كان يحتفل بها رمسيس الثاني في معبده بأبو سمبل. وقد أبهر هذا الحدث الزوار والمشاهدين، وأظهر تراث مصر الحضاري والعلمي.
In a historic and unique event, the Grand Egyptian Museum witnessed the phenomenon of the sun perpendicular to the face of the statue of Ramses II, the great king of the pharaohs. This event was the result of continuous efforts by a team of astronomical and engineering experts who carefully studied the location and angle of the sun and the statue, and chose the ideal place to revive this phenomenon that was celebrated by Ramses II in his temple in Abu Simbel. This event dazzled visitors and viewers, and showed Egypt's cultural and scientific heritage.

The Ancient Egyptian civil calendar followed the cycle of the Nile's yearly flooding, that occurred on the 19th day of July of the Julian calendar. From this day, defined as the first of the year, the agricultural activities were divided into three seasons of four months:

Flood………………….AJET season

Sowing……………….PERET season

Harvest………………SHEMU season
The calendar consisted of 365 days, divided into 12 months of 30 days, totaling 360 days; the other five days between the last day of Mesut-Ra and the first day of Renpet, first month of the year, were the feast days called Heru-Renpet, (Greek Epagómenos), as shown in the following table:

The ancient Egyptians used a calendar with 12 months of 30 days each, for a total of 360 days per year. About 4000 B.C. they added five extra days at the end of every year to bring it more into line with the solar year.(1)
These five days became a festival because it was thought to be unlucky to work during that time.
The Egyptians had calculated that the solar year was actually closer to 365 1/4 days, but instead of having a single leap day every four years to account for the fractional day (the way we do now), they let the one-quarter day accumulate. After 1,460 solar years, or four periods of 365 years, 1,461 Egyptian years had passed. This means that as the years passed, the Egyptian months fell out of sync with the seasons, so that the summer months eventually fell during winter. Only once every 1,460 years did their calendar year coincide precisely with the solar year.
In addition to the civic calendar, the Egyptians also had a religious calendar that was based on the 29 1/2-day lunar cycle and was more closely linked with agricultural cycles and the movements of the stars.
(1). The correct figures are lunation: 29 d, 12 h, 44 min, 2.8 sec (29.530585 d); solar year: 365 d, 5 h, 48 min, 46 sec (365.242216 d); 12 lunations: 354 d, 8 h, 48 min, 34 sec (354.3671 d).
