The Unfinished Obelisk, commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC), showcases ancient Egyptian stone-carving techniques, despite cracking during construction.
The Philae Temple, dedicated to Isis, was built in 280 BC under Ptolemy II. Rescued during UNESCO’s Nubia Campaign (1960s–1970s), it was relocated to Agilkia Island and remains one of Egypt’s most beautiful temples.
