NAZLET EL-SAMAAN  IN EGYPT

Once a year do the Great Pyramids mark, among other things, the start of a calendrical year. In this case on what we now call December 21st, the shortest day of the year. This represents a geodetic accuracy that transcends some 4,500 years. From approximately 2600 B.C. to the 20th century as the Christian world has it.

Imagine... an earth commensurate clock with two moving parts... the sun and the Earth...that is still accurate after 4500 years !

No attribution is given as to the photographer, but it was someone who knew enough to be at the right place at the right time. Presumably, it was the same person who also labeled it. Whoever it was knew exactly what they were doing, so it is reasonable to assume that the labeling in the photo is accurate. We know where the Wall of the Crow ( with its dead horse,) is. We know where the Nazlet El Saman is. Therefore it is possible that the area labeled “Khufu Valley Temple?” is also accurate.

It is an interesting visit for many legends have grown up around this village situated on the doorsteps of the Great Pyramids in Giza.  Today Nazlet-el-Samaan is much modernized

The story of how Nazlet-el-Samaan .. came into being is a fascinating one. In the old days when the Egyptian princes took guests to the pyramids they sometimes arranged a horse riding display as part of the day’s entertainment. Some eighty years ago a Turkish prince gave a desert party at Giza. A large tent had been erected for luncheon. The flaps on the front were thrown upward so that the guests might watch a riding display.

The horsemen gave an outstanding performance. The desert riders exercise much of their control with their legs and knees along the lines of European Haute Ecole. They stop dead  from a full gallop, turn and are off again. Going swiftly as the wind they jump their horses over imaginary hurdles. One rider was an old man with a long white beard. He was slender and a superb horseman. The Turkish prince was entranced. He beckoned the old man forward and invited him to join his guests.
