The complex is ‎part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Nubian Monuments," which ‎run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae (near Aswan). It is believed that the axis of ‎the temple was positioned by the ancient Egyptian architects in such a way that on ‎October 22 and February 22, the rays of the sun would penetrate the sanctuary and ‎illuminate the sculptures on the back wall, except for the statue of Ptah, the god ‎connected with the Underworld, who always remained in the dark. These dates are ‎allegedly the king's birthday and coronation day.‎
