Kalabsha Temple

The largest free-standing temple in Lower Nubia, built during the reign of Emperor Augustus (30 BC-14 AD) and dedicated to the Nubian sun god Mandulis. Originally located at Bab al-Kalabsha, approximately 50 km south of Aswan. In the 1960s, the temple was dismantled into approximately 13,000 stone blocks and relocated near the Aswan High Dam to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979 alongside Abu Simbel and Amada.
