And our final temple visit was to the relocated Temple of Philae near the city of Aswan. It is the southern most temple in Egypt and in ancient times defined the limit of the Egyptian empire. It too was built in the Greco-Roman period. the temple was nearly lost under water when the Aswan dam was built in the 1960s. The temple was moved from its original island to another which afforded higher ground. The move was a joint operation between the Egyptian government and UNESCO.
