| Page Views: 810 Last Visit to Philae: April, 2007 | Philae Temples at night by Kuznetsov_Sergey - last update: Dec 12, 2007 |
It is considered that the Ptolemies erected the imposing buildings of the Philae Temples in the last two centuries B.C. and the Roman Emperors continued the construction in the first three centuries A.D. I don’t believe it but let them talk about it!
The Temples were built of the same style of the temples of the New Kingdom in addition to some other elements, which appeared in the Greco-Roman period. |

As a night how, that is obviously even more impressive! Great the relocation of the monuments made them even more available than they were before the building of the great dam! |
