discovered as it was being hewn from the rock. Possibly intended as
a companion to the Lateran Obelisk, originally at Karnak but now in

reconstruction was an historic event in itself. When the temples (280
km from Aswan) were threatened by submersion in Lake Nasser, due to
the construction of the High Dam the Egyptian Government secured the
support of UNESCO and launched a world wide appeal. During the salvage
operation which began in 1964 and continued until 1968, the two temples
were dismantled and raised over 60 meters up the sandstone cliff where
they had been built more than 3,000 years before. Here they were reassembled,
in the exact same relationship to each other and the sun, and covered
with an artificial mountain. Most of the joins in the stone have now
been filled by antiquity experts, but inside the temples it is still
possible to see where the blocks were cut. You can also go inside
the man made dome and see an exhibition of photographs showing the
different stages of the massive removal project. Drive back to Aswan.
