Philae: the Temple on the Water

Trajan’s Kiosk seen on Agilika Island, part of the Philae Temple complex. The original Philae island (below) would frequently be flooded. But once the great dam was built, the island was going to be year-round flooded so a rescue effort to move the complex to nearby Agilika Island was done in the 1960’s.

Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
