The sun will partially eclipse this afternoon, on Tuesday, at a time when Rabi’ al-Awwal comes to an end and the month of Rabi’ al-Akher begins in the year 1444 AH. According to the National Institute for Astronomical Research, the eclipse will last from the hour at ten minutes and 58 seconds before it begins to the hour at ten minutes and ten seconds after it ends as a semi-shade.
As the Australian magazine “Inchitniz” stated, the ancient Egyptians were aware of the solar eclipse and had their own interpretation of this cosmic phenomena thousands of years ago. The eclipse of the sun was connected to the ancient Pharaonic culture.
Given the significance of the lit sun disc for King Akhenaten and the “Amarna period,” the journal added, it would be wonderful if we could establish a connection—possibly even a causal one—between historical occurrences and the ancient Egyptian sun eclipse during the Amarna period.
It is strange that the ancient Egyptians did not explicitly refer to the eclipse of the sun because experts claimed that it was expressed in the Pharaohs’ language as if it were the dark “eye” of the dark.
It is strange that there are no earlier references given that the sun was very important to the Egyptian religion and myths, especially during the era of Amarna, and there are many evidence that the Egyptians have aligned their buildings with coups and modes, as the oldest Egyptian records that are unambiguous are due to the eclipse to the Greek Roman era. Numerous references to the Earth being “without light,” such as those found in the “reproach of Ebuir,” a papyrus of an educational nature dating back to 2000 BC, and many people think that these are descriptions of the solar eclipse, can be found even in Amarna. the meaning of the solar eclipse.

The sun’s eclipse during the Pharaohs. The world is obscured by the deity’s dark eye.
