The High Dam:
The Nile is the root of Egypt’s culture and life. The Egyptians have tried to monitor the Nile and its floods from Ancient Egypt till the present day.
The Ancient Egyptians built a small dam of mud-brick near Cairo, which stood for several years. During the British Colony of Egypt, another dam (Aswan Dam) was built. The dam wasn’t enough for the high floods. So the High Dam was built. The construction began in the early 1960s and ended in 1971. The dam is one of the great engineering feats of the world in the 1960s.
From the High Dam to the stunning Philae Temple.
During the Greco-Roman period the magnificent Temple of Philae, the Pearl of Egypt was built. It was during this period the cult center of the goddess Isis, the goddess of love and magic. Philae is derived from Pilak, the island’s Coptic name which means the isolated spot.
