Author 'Hiedra98' (Id 146784
) : The interior finely decorated temple Kalabsha, upstream of the Aswan Dam, also rescued from the water before its construction, like Philae and Abu Simbel. Little visited, yet it is a curiosity of ancient Egyptian history. Its construction was ordered by Emperor Augustus at the beginning of our era on the ruins of a temple dating from the time of Karnak, 1. 500 years before. It is dedicated to the Nubian god Mandulis and was made in the best pharaonic style. In the 6th century, it became a place of Christian worship, vandalism of some of the pagan idols included.
