| Description |
This Egyptian temple was built in 15BC under the auspices of the Roman occupiers. In the 1970s, the construction of the Aswan High Dam was to submerge the temple site. As the US had been involved in the efforts to save archaeological sites that would otherwise have been flooded by the dam, Egypt gifted this temple to the US, and it has been a key exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1978. The Egyptian collection at the Met is among the best anywhere in the world. |
