   What is temple orientation?

   Are Greek temples orientated toward higher-status cult sites?

   • In Greece, however, divine geography was more precisely defined. In examining Greek temples for a possible orientation toward a more ancient or higher-status cult site of the same or a related deity, we should bear in mind that the intentionality of a given orientation cannot be judged by the accuracy of the alignment.

   How are the foundations of the Apollo temple oriented?

   • The foundations are oriented at 118 degrees, strikingly close to the 118.1° actual bearing on the Apollo sanctuary at Delos. Another temple to consider is the Apollo Daphnephoros temple in Eretria, Euboia. Nothing in the local topography imposes its orientation of 133.7°. The bearing to Delos is 130.1°.

   Are classical temples aligned with Sunrise?

   • Introduction It has long been proposed that classical temples may have been aligned with respect to sunrise on certain dates. The idea was first proposed by Nissen in 1869. This idea was developed further by other authors such as Penrose and Dinsmoor, who argued that a temple could be dated from its astronomical alignment.

   The main directional orientation of the vast temple of Amun, known as Ipet-Isut, which stands on the east bank of the Nile, faces west towards the Theban hills on the opposite side of the river. Its calculated azimuth of 296º - 53’ (SB study suggested 296.75°) corresponds with a mid-summer sunset on a level horizon.

This impressive set of data seems to answer this question in the affirmative.

   The azimuth of this temple is 108º- 29’ and at 54 bc the star Sirius, so important to the Ancient Egyptians, would have been seen rising on the eastern horizon on the same azimuth. We therefore have three possible contenders for astronomical orientation for this temple.
