\nEl Peque\u00f1o Pueblo De Abu-Simbel Se Encuentra A 280 Km Al Sur De Asu\u00e1n. Aunque Aqu\u00ed Encontrar\u00e1 Varios Hoteles, Es Una Visita Casi Obligatoria A Los Turistas Que Visitan Egipto. La Mayor\u00eda De Ellos Prefieren Visitar La Ciudad Nubia Haciendo Una Excursi\u00f3n De Un D\u00eda Desde El Cairo O Asu\u00e1n O Durante Un Crucero Por El Nilo O Por El Lago Nasser.
\nThe Temples of Abu Simbel are some of ancient Egypt's most interesting temples. Located close to the southern border of Sudan, the site is 280 km south of Aswan and consists of two rock-cut temples which both date back to the reign of King Ramses II (1290-1223 BC). Unfortunately, these unique Temples suffered from the rising water of Lake Nasser while the High Dam was being built. Other countries, with the help of UNES CO, assisted Egypt to help save them.\nThe two temples were cut into many pieces and taken to a site 200M away and 65M higher, then reconstructed to escape the rising water level. This great rescue operation began in June 1964 and finished in September 1968.\nThe first Temple was built by King Ramses II and is dedicated to the Gods Re-Hor-Akhty, Amon, Ptah, and King Ramses II as a deified King. They did think quite highly of themselves as kings but rather as gods! the temple facade is 35m long and 30m high, with four 20m tall seated colossi of the King seated on his throne wearing the double crown, accompanied by 3 small figures of his wives, daughters, and sons around his legs.\nAbove the entrance stands the figure of Re-Hor-Akhty, while near to the summit of the facade there is a number of baboons. Don't worry, they aren't real!\nInside the temple is a hall supported by Osirid-shaped pillars which were cut into the rock, with walls that are decorated by battle and offering scenes. There are some side rooms leading from the hall, which are also decorated with various scenes. At the far end of the Temple is the sanctuary, which contains four statues: Re-Hor-Akhty, Amon-Re, Ptah and the deified Ramses II.\nGranite quarry<\/strong>
\nThe Geological Formations of the Eastern and Western Deserts have offered Egypt a wide range of rocks, which in ancient times earned it the name \"Country of Stone\". The Egyptian Civilization With Its Powerful Construction Activity Since The Beginning Of The 3 Millennium BC Supposed The Beginning Of An Intense Activity Of Prospecting And Extraction Of Stone Material To Build Pyramids, Temples And Statues, Which Affected Even The Most Remote Quarries. Aswan held a prominent place among the main quarries since the precious red granite was extracted from there, in addition to other stones such as quartzite. The Most Important Testimony Of Ancient Extractive Activity Is An Unfinished Obelisk That Was Not Separated From The Bedrock Due To A Material Defect. It was the largest obelisk ever projected, with a length of 42 m and an estimated weight of about 1,200 tons. It is believed to date from the 18th Dynasty and was probably destined for the Imperial Shrine of Karnak.\nTemple of Philae<\/strong>
\nPhilae Island was a rocky island in the middle of the River Nile, south of Aswan. It was called in Hieroglyphic \"Apo\" which means Ivory. It was also known by the Greek \"Elephantine\", most probably because it was an important center of trade, especially for ivory.\nhe Ancient Egyptians built a beautiful and magnificent Temple on this island for the Goddess Isis, but it became submerged after the first Aswan dam was built in 1906, and it was not until the seventies that many nations attempted to save the Temple. All these countries, together with UNESCO, selected a suitable place, but they had to wait until the completion of the High Dam, in 1971, which would stabilize the level of the water.\nThe Temple Of Kalabsha<\/strong>
\nse encuentra en el lago Nasser, muy cerca de la Presa de Asu\u00e1n. Queda a unos 30 minutos en coche desde la ciudad de Asu\u00e1n, para a continuaci\u00f3n, ir a bordo de una lancha a motor desde el muelle durante 15 minutos hasta llegar al templo, ya que se encuentra encima de una isla.El templo se construy\u00f3 en honor de una deidad solar menor llamada \u201cMandulis”, relacionada m\u00e1s tarde con la adoraci\u00f3n de Horus.\nObelisco inacabado<\/strong>
