The sun passes over the face of Ramses

The sun passes over the face of Ramses

Of the most important aspects that characterize the Abu Simbel temple from other temples of the ancient Egyptians enter the sun in the early morning to place inside the so-called "Holy of Holies" and access to the four statues, Vtdi this place deep in the rock and away from the entrance at about sixty meters. !! In the fifth hour and fifty-three minutes on October 22 of each year sneaks sun beam down over the face of King Ramses flood of light fills the facial features Pharaoh inside his room in the Holy of Holies in the heart of the temple, and then multiplies Sunbeam quickly forming a beam of light shining faces of the four statues inside the Holy of Holies. It is worth mentioning that the incidence of the sun passes over Ramses statue was happening on October 21 and February 21, 1964 before, except that after the transfer of Abu Simbel temple after the cut to save him from drowning under the High Dam Lake water at the beginning of the sixties from the old location, which were carved inside the mountain to its current location, has become a phenomenon repeated on October 22 and February 22, so as to change the latitude and longitude after the transfer of the temple of 120 meters to the west and at altitudes of 60 meters, where the sun enters from the front of the temple to go a distance of 200 meters to reach the Holy of Holies to light up three statues of the four in the inside, and they Statue Re-Hor sister of the sun god, and the statue of Ramses II, who is equal with God, and the statue of Amun good god in that era, and the statue is the fourth of the god Ptah, Lord of Memphis and patron of art and artists and the god of the underworld does not get to the sun, because it has to be to remain in the darkness like condition in the underworld and then cut off the sun another 60 meters rays perpendicular to King Ramses II and the statue of Amun-Re statue of the god of Thebes, maker of a framework around the statues 355 cm long and the width of 185 cm. astronomical explanation for the phenomenon that offers the ancient Egyptians in Science Astronomy .. confirms the full benefit of public manifestation in their lives and they knew the sunrise and sunset and the timing and location and the length of the solar year properties. Vtaamd sun on the Abu Simbel temple twice a year based on the scientific fact discovered by the ancient Egyptians is that the sunrise perfectly East Point and sunset perfectly West Point on atheist and the twentieth of March, and then almost sunrise point changes by a quarter degrees every day to the north, where up at sunrise to a point away by 23 degrees and 27 minutes north east in the twenty-second of June. The sun returns again to rises in the east point in exactly the same moves toward the north rate to reach quite the Middle point in the atheist and the twentieth of September, and then changed almost sunrise at a rate of a quarter degree point to the south to become just 23 degrees and 27 minutes south east in the Twenty-second of the month of December of each year and then come back at the same rate to reach quite the Middle point in atheist and the twentieth of March. was based on the ancient Egyptians in their discovery to that the sun passes on each point during sunrise and sunset twice each year, and that the distance of time between them vary depending on after every point completely East Point. and that the sun passes over the face of Ramses II twice a year, on the twenty-second of October, and the twenty-second of the month February, came as a result of choosing the ancient Egyptians point in the path of the sun away from the points of course with a time of four months to comply with on October 22 and February 22 of each year and then they built the temple so that the direction of the path that the intervention of which the sun on the face of Ramses II from the east from the narrow opening. And that the ancient Egyptians made ​​this narrow aperture so that if the sun entered the day fell on the statue's face it the next day deviate small deviation of a quarter of the degree of radiation and this fall the next day on the wall of the hole does not fall on the face of the statue. Finder phenomenon discovered this phenomenon in 1874 where she explored Amelia Eduarz and her team to monitor this phenomenon and recorded in her book, published in 1899 (thousand miles above the Nile), which states: become statues of the Holy of Holies high-impact and surrounded by beautiful aura of prestige and dignity at sunrise the sun and the fall of its rays on them, and went on saying that any viewer if you do not watch the sun fall this entertains doubt strong impact accurately calculated by astronomy and Ancient Egyptian mathematics, where as accurately and directed towards a certain angle so that the fall of these rays on the faces of the four statues.

Lisbon

His sky light, his poetry lonely, his sudden winds.
If I had to describe Lisbon and imagine it with your eyes closed to those who, for example, could not get out very often from Italy I would say a little 'juice of Naples, half glass of Barcelona, ​​a splash of Palermo, a drop of Genoa. Shake well and ... voila: Lisbon.
Of course, to this we must add its great personality.
The great avenues of Baixa give way to climb pendants and alleys and stairways of the Alfama, the shops in the Chiado are intermingled with the locals of the Barrio Alto, the premises that resonate Fado nell'Alfama give way to the wide spaces of Belem. Lisbon.

If you want to get an idea of ​​the film city, albeit with a few years of difference, look at the films of Wim Wenders "Lisbon Story", an anthem not just in Lisbon, its views, its sounds and melodies but also to one of the His most important souls, Pessoa.
His film Wenders said: "The purpose of this film was to show that the sounds help to see things differently."

Bangkok

Visiting Bangkok I realized that you can not miss a tour of the canals of the Chao Phraya River. Do not be scared by the color of this river; instead you have to literally live the main artery of water of this capital and its so-called khlong (channels).
And the best way to enjoy them is just "exploiting". Starting from the present several piers along the river, you can take a ride on the boat (Chao Phraya Express) which stops at the height of the main attractions of Bangkok (such as Wat Arun, Wat Pho etc ...), or take a ride on the typical Thai boats (the long tail boat). Water reveals a different Bangkok. You can sense the relationship that the inhabitants have with their most important river, you can scrutinize, discreetly, some habits and taste typical conditions of daily life, and maybe sometimes atypical for us Westerners, in a city like Bangkok.
E 'in practice a different angle, unexpected, fresh and authentic.

Tip: it happened to me to get in a small agency to Skytrain (subway) to Saphan Taksin, and book a long tail boat ride, starting at Tha Sathorn. If you decide to take a ride on these boats in Thailand, bring a jacket or a scarf to put on the legs: get him splashing dirt Chao Praya is not the best ...

Floating markets in Thailand

In Thailand, as in other areas of Southeast Asia, the floating markets
are the expression of a tradition never lost, a symbol, a daily habit
that goes beyond the simple purchase of food. These markets river, albeit sometimes
tourism (such as Damnoen Saduak, situated about 100 kilometers from Bangkok and you can visit in half a day) than others (such as the Taling Chan), take advantage of the calm waters of the channels (called khlong) to be populated by voices, smells, food.
Often when we talk about markets you end up imagining the usual and ordinary stalls, but here we are talking about markets on boat. In my trip to Thailand, less than two years ago, I visited several floating markets. I pursued this desire for a long, and I continue to pursue him until one day actually not be able to visit those of the Mekong River.
Here's the overview of the market of Damnoen Saduak, open only in the morning.

The elegance, dignity, and the skill with which they move the women on their boats is breath-taking. The elegance of simplicity.
Everything is prepared and cooked on board small boats, sitting, without ever losing his balance.

Inthese markets, if you fall victim of fear and hygiene, you can eat everything from hot dishes such as rice, noodles sauteed, soups thai, to meat and fresh fruit. 

I own in Thailand I discovered a new fruit ... and I loved it instantly. The mangosteen (see in the photo below left).
Aesthetically, a kind of small eggplant round but with a heart inside of sweet white segments.

Recommend a visit to Taling Chan market, Bangkok. Certainly more authentic Damnoen Saduak. Just look around and find that the percentage of tourists is much lower than that of the Thais. Gas bottles everywhere, smoke, colors, pans, spices, fish, rice, traditional Thai music and huge carp around punts ready to devour the bread launched by children.

the cappadocia , turkey

There is a place in Turkey, in the region of central Anatolia, where time seems to stand still and where almost everything seems to take the form of a fable: the Cappadocia.
A set of canyons, caves, cave houses and "fairy chimneys". A place that seems to be hidden and almost intact compared to the known circuits Turks, as now known destination to many.
A landscape created thanks to the hand of nature and the ingenuity of man.
Some years have passed since my trip to this land but the memory is still vivid. 

And after after hour drive and hundreds of miles of wilderness almost repetitive leads over a tuff promontory, quiet and unpopulated.
It looks like a place independent of the world, where nature decides alone its forms. Soft, colorful, enveloping.

Did you happen to breathe serenity in a place that, in reality, is not at all familiar? And 'what I happened to Uchisar, Cappadocia. When you get on his cape does not have the courage to speak. Your eyes do not remember ever having captured those colors.Elsewhere the serenity that you sense when you get there. 
Its castle overlooking the fairy chimneys, the valley as far as the eye, the heartbeat that subsides, the difficulty in finding adequate words ....
Nostalgia.

Tip: try to climb to the top at sunset. Leave your car in the square of the village, at the foot of the promontory, and within minutes you reach the castle. It is worth paying the few Turkish lira planned to get up here (there are several steps to do and for small children is not exactly the best).
