For centuries, it was the gateway to Africa and the lands of Nubia. Aswan is only 130km south of Luxor, our river Nile Cruise starts sailing from Luxor and ends at Aswan. The total nights spent on the cruise was 4 days 3 nights, in the middle, we stopped at Edfu and Kom Ombo.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32914 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_20191226_102708.jpg\" alt=\"Philae Temple, High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan\" width=\"1024\" height=\"613\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the way to Philae Temple, we passed by Aswan High Dam and stopped to take a few pictures. The dam is pretty impressive considering it was built in the countryside. Russian helped to build the dam here in order to control the floor or dry seasons in the river Nile. As you know, flooding of the Nile occurs annually and this has put flooding to an end.\u00a0 The Aswan High Dam is important for the people in Egypt and the engineering work looks stunning.\u00a0 It may be a little bit boring for some as it&#8217;s only water in the reservoir.\u00a0 We only spent about 20 mins, it was super hot as there are no shades at all.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1170\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h0ApiWqFex8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32912 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_20191226_101917.jpg\" alt=\"Philae Temple, High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan\" width=\"1024\" height=\"745\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Visiting Philae Island by boat taxi<\/h3>\n<p>The Nile River was the source of life for the ancient Egyptians so traveling on the boats is a common daily lifestyle here.

She was the wife of Osiris and they had a son called Horus, the falcon-headed god. We visited the Temple of Horus in Edfu just 2 days ago. Philae temple also called Temple of Isis and it was the last temple built in the classical Egyptian style.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32934 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_20191226_114032.jpg\" alt=\"Philae Temple, High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Let&#8217;s find out more about the goddess of Isis<\/h3>\n<p>According to Egyptian mythology, Isis protected women and children and healed the sick. The symbols used to represent Isis include the moon disk, cow horns, wings, and kite hawk, and sycamore trees. Temples to Isis became common in the Roman times and a temple built to her at Philae.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32957 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_20191226_120433.jpg\" alt=\"Philae Temple, High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Temple Architecture<\/h3>\n<p>Similar to many of the Egyptian temples, it has pylons that are large gates of temple, inner court, and Hypostyle Hall. The temple was built in the architecture style of the new Kingdom with some elements of the Greco-Roman period. Of course, you will also see the tall columns too. And if you look up at the top column, you will recognize the form of Lotus and papyrus style.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32930 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_20191226_113542.jpg\" alt=\"Philae Temple, High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan\" width=\"1024\" height=\"735\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Relocation of Philae Temple<\/h3>\n<p>Philae temple has been moved because of the flood from the river Nile. Unesco started a rescue mission to save this temple to higher ground.\u00a0 First, the monuments were cleaned, measured and dismantled into 40,000 units. Stones by stones it was moved and put back just like the lego.\u00a0 Thanks to the big effort, we are able to enjoy this piece of treasure now.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32931 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_20191226_113634.jpg\" alt=\"Philae Temple, High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1365\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Large carvings of gods of Ancient Egypt were inscribed on the facade at the entrance, telling the stories of this ancient civilization.<\/p>\n<p>Carved images of the god Horus, the falcon-headed god and Hathor can also be seen at the wall.

It is the largest known ancient obelisk. It is huge and located at the top of a hill. You need to hike over boulders so it is not suitable if you are having weak knees.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32961 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_20191226_124233.jpg\" alt=\"Philae Temple, High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan\" width=\"1024\" height=\"733\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This obelisk is known for its massive size and for the fact that the work that was carried out on it was never finished. If it is completed, it would have been the largest obelisk on earth. It was carved out from single granite stone.<\/p>\n<p>Aswan granite was the third most important stone used in Egyptian civilization, after sandstones and limestone. Granite stone is hard and to shape granite stone into the obelisk, it is a tough job.\u00a0 We were told that diorite was used to shape the granite.<\/p>\n<p>This place is not as fascinating as a visit to one of the temple ruins but I learn about the making of an ancient Egyptian Obelisk from granite stones.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes, the massive obelisk was never completed due to the cracks in the stones. They decided just to abandon the job.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32967 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_20191226_125022.jpg\" alt=\"Philae Temple, High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Final tips:<\/h3>\n<p>The hike up is about 10 minutes but super hot as there is no shade.\u00a0 Umbrella may not be very convenient if there are crowds walking up together.\u00a0 Bring a scarf to cover your head instead.\u00a0 Wear a good pair of comfy shoes as the walk up is not easy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32963 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thinkerten.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_20191226_124344.jpg\" alt=\"Philae Temple, High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan\" width=\"1024\" height=\"674\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aswan is an ancient city located in the southern part of Egypt.
