East-facing entrance, marked by a traditional gateway known as a pylon, leads to a spot where sunlight would have illuminated where the sky observer —known as 'smn pe' and who was usually a priest —stood to track the sun and stars, Ghonim said; the structure still has a carving of smn pe facing the rising sun.
