The High Dam
The Aswan Dam, Egypt, is one of the most important engineering mega constructions of the 20th century. It was built to alleviate the annual floods and occasional droughts experienced by Egypt. It was built on January 11, 1960, and completed on July 21, 1970.
-
Philae Temple
The temple was rearranged on the island of Agilkia, which was on the island of Elephantine.

-
Edfu Temple
It dates back to 237 BC during the Hellenistic period after the conquest of Alexander the Great. Its construction took place under the mandate of Ptolemy II who, although they were Greeks, preserved the architectural style and Egyptian traditions. It would be completed in 57 BC with the mandate of Ptolemy XII and would be built on a much smaller temple, also dedicated to Horus.
-
Kom Ombo Temple
The temple of Kom Ombo is one of the most famous in Egypt because it is completely symmetrical. It has two entrances, two hypostyle halls - covered halls supported by columns - and two sanctuaries. This is because the temple is dedicated to two different gods: Horus -- and Sobek. Although in many ways it is a double temple, it has several rooms and enclosures for common use.
