A fascinating (and detailed) look at a site that many visitors completely miss, even based in Aswan ! The rescue (as with Abu Simbel) is a story in itself, but the 19thC visitors take the biscuit for hubris - wasn't it Edward Lear who set up his camp in the temple ?

Considering the length of time these monuments have existed, I imagine anything you can think of has happened within them, Edward Lear's encampment the least of it!

I am so excited to read your article and see your photos...I'll be in Egypt in one week!! Thank you for an excellent post!

Fascinating and beautiful! Would have been such a shame if it had been lost to flooding....

Arriving in Aswan, PortMoresby visits an island and its temple with an unusual history.
