Illumination
Season 1Episode 748 min
Twice a year, on the anniversary of the Ramses' birth and coronation day, the rising sun penetrates the temple to illuminate the four gods of creation situated at it's very core. As we witness this rare spectacle, we gain an understanding of the ancient temple, not just as a place of worship, but as an essential mechanism of the ancient magical practices. West is joined by bestselling author / researcher Robert Bauval at the temple of Abu Simbel. We look at the temple, statuary and heiroglyphs as examples of talismanic technology. Lon Milo Duqette discusses modern applications of talismanic technology.
