And that's not all. At sunrise on the summer
and winter solstices, the longest and shortest days of the year, a different distinctive
projection of light precisely illuminates
the edges of the megaliths to the left and right of the doorway. This phenomenon is far from unique
in ancient constructions. In fact, the Great Pyramid of Cholula and the pyramids beneath it,
all directly face the setting sun on the summer solstice. And other megalithic sites
around the world boast similar alignments. Like Stonehenge, or Egypt's Temple of Karnak. Here at Mnajdra, the ancients
created these enormous structures to celebrate the marriage
of Heaven and Earth
