EgyptThe temple of Dakka collapsed in 1908–1909 and was subsequently rebuilt by Alessandro Barsanti via Anastylosis [1]. During the construction of the Aswan Dam in the 1960s, the temple was dismantled and moved to the site of New Wadi es-Sebua [1]. When the temple was rebuilt at New Wadi es-Sebua, additional newly identified original fragments were added [1]. At the time of the temple's removal, some reused stone blocks from Thutmose III, Seti I and Merneptah were discovered which originated from an earlier New Kingdom structure in or near Kubban [1].
