Built by Ptolemy VI and added to by Augustus. The locals call it the "Disco" on account of the musical and dancing scenes in the reliefs. There are also scenes of the dwarf god Bes, sacred to childbirth, whose cult is often associated with Hathor, a mother goddess as well as a love goddess.

Kiosk of Trajan

Elevation 122 Meters.
East-West orientation.
Egypt was the bread basket of Rome and Trajan was very eager to maintain good relations with the Egyptians when he built this charming enclosure in 105 CE. It was probably used as a resting place for visiting dignitaries. The reliefs show Trajan offering paying his respects to Isis, Osiris and Horus.
This structure was also saved from its watery resting place in the late 70s, well after all the other Nubi...

Aswan Broken Obelisk submitted by andyb456 on 25th Feb 2005. The obelisk was to have been the largest madmade stone object in existence. The red granite quarries of Aswan were used for many statues and colossi and the 'footprints' of these can be seen all over this quarry. Stone tools left behind has given a valuable insight in to their methods. Sadly, it was abandoned when a crack appeared. Oops, hope they didn't waste too much time!
