English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

The total solar eclipse on 2 August 2027 will reach its maximum duration near Luxor, Egypt, with 6 minutes and 23 seconds of totality. Against those who deny that eclipses vary in length, the flat-Earth model produces no verifiable predictions.

## The eclipse that will darken Luxor
On **2 August 2027**, a total solar eclipse will cross North Africa, Europe and the Middle East. The longest duration of totality will be seen near **Luxor**, in southern **Egypt**: **6 minutes and 23 seconds**, according to **NASA**. Luxor, described as the world's largest open-air museum, will be plunged into darkness for nearly six and a half minutes.

## A duration some deny
Some claim that the variable duration of eclipses is a hoax by official science. According to that thesis, they would all last the same, as the **Sumerians** supposedly said.

The flat-Earth model cannot predict how long the next eclipse will last, nor explain why some last longer than others. That idea is not supported by any evidence.

## The record until 2114
**NASA** calculates that there will not be another totality this long anywhere on the planet until **2114**. The eclipse on **2 August 2027** will be visible as total in a band that includes southern Egypt.

Luxor, the ancient Thebes, holds millennia of tombs, temples and monuments, and will be the best place in the world to watch it.
