In 2027, Luxor, Egypt will witness a rare and spectacular astronomical event: a total solar eclipse. This celestial phenomenon will provide an extraordinary backdrop for the AMA expedition, deepening the exploration of the interplay between art, mythology, and astronomy in Luxor’s sacred landscape. Luxor, the ancient city of Thebes, stands as an unparalleled repository of human history, particularly regarding the religious, artistic, and astronomical advancements of ancient Egyptian civilization. As a profound admirer of the ancient Egyptian Civilization, I recognize the immense value of the AMA expedition in documenting how ancient Egyptians integrated these domains into a cohesive worldview. The alignment of temples such as Karnak with celestial events, the intricate representations of the cosmos in tombs, and the mythological narratives carved into the stone walls are all vital aspects of understanding the intellectual achievements of the ancients. This expedition, led by Dan Aug, promises to bring forth new perspectives on their sophisticated cosmology and its implications for contemporary studies.
