Great and Important Event that occurs every 2737 years

December 3 planets Mercury, Venus and Saturn  will be perpendicular to the Giza Pyramids.

I am inviting you from Egypt  to watch this event and celebrate it with us.

Some important notes :

Venus: 

Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. The planet is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6, bright enough to cast shadows.
