Twice every year, February 22nd and October 22nd , the first rays of the sun shines in though the temple entrance, through the hall and into the innermost sacred room where they illuminate the gods Ra-Harakhty, Ramses II and Amun. Ptah to the left is never illuminated.

Before the temple was moved from the rising water of the Nile this phenomenon happened one day earlier.
