AB QH25 and QH26 were excavated on the hill, immersed in a landscape of contrasts and conceived through sunlight. The solar geometry is decisive in the analysis and study of the most relevant funerary complex of Qubbet el-Hawa. Built by dematerialization at the southern end of the hill, the two tombs of father and son were setted parallel to the slope lines, facing east, to look directly at Elephantine.With a specific methodology based on the illumination of the space, converted into a sacred precinct, the present communication proposes a theory on the design and composition of this complex of the Old Kingdom. From the monumental ascent ramps, to the common courtyard and through the two thresholds, we provide the geometric analysis of a space permanently controlled by the sun and its relationship with the ideas and concepts of this period of the Old Kingdom
