View of the remains of the Roman Period (3rd century AD) kiosk in the Temple of Isis at Qertassi, Nubia, in its original position. A local is seated on the base of a column with a Hathor capital. The temple was moved following the construction of the Aswan Dam, and the resulting formation of Lake Nasser, which would have submerged it. The temple was re-erected in 1963 at New Kalabsha, a location on higher ground not far from Aswan. The author's signature is visible at the bottom left.
