Hail, July (پاکستان پوائنٹ نیوز 03 يوليو 2026ء) According to Mishari Al-Nashmi, a researcher in ancient astronomy and head of the Mashar Historical Observatory Club, Mashar serves as the first stellar-solar Calendar observatory linked to the dawn appearance of the star Sirius to mark the beginning of the year, echoing practices found in several ancient civilizations.
This ancient architectural precision is highlighted annually on August 5, when morning sunlight enters the observatory's aperture, aligning with the dawn rising of Sirius. In the evening, at precisely 5:25 PM, sunlight again filters through the same aperture with remarkable precision. This unique astronomical phenomenon repeats in the opposite direction on May 5, showcasing the sophisticated design and deep astronomical knowledge of ancient humans.
