Anada Temple in Nubia
In Lower Nubia, on the west bank of the Nile River, resided an ancient Egyptian population known as the Armada. When the Aswan Dam was built, the site was obstructed by the waters of Lake Nasser. Within that enclave was a temple that was rebuilt 2.5 kilometers further north in an attempt to save water.
The pilgrims from Nubia who came to this area to rest on their way to the Temple of Aesmas at Philae are depicted in the Amada Temple's scenes of horses and elephants. Additionally, behold the glory of the holes in the columns and wall decorations that refer to the relationship between the various gods, and there is more to discover with Lake Nasser Cruises. Ananda Temple in Nubia is still a great place to visit, especially if you try one of our Egypt Lake Nasser cruises during Egypt travel packages. Built by Tuthmosis III and his son Amenhotep II a hypostyle hall was added by his successor, Tuthmosis IV.
King Thutmose III | Tuthmosis the Third
Ananda temple is the oldest of all the monuments found around Lake Nasser. Dating back to the 18th dynasty of the New Kingdom, the temple predates that of Ramses II and Abu Simbel Temples which were built during the 19th dynasty by about 200 years. Inside, there are important facts relating to Ramses II and his son Merenptah. The temple does not have particularly majestic dimensions, with a hypostyle hall inside which there are still 12 columns, which leads to a chapel dedicated to God Amun and Re-Harakhty, two of the most important gods of ancient Egypt.
Temple of Amada
The pylon that once stood before this structure has been destroyed. Despite its small size, the temple is worthy of interest for the scenes and the wall representations, including images dedicated to the pharaonic era dating back to the 18th dynasty returning from some victorious military campaigns that probably occurred in Asia and Libya. The discoveries inside the temple of Amada are some of the best-preserved in the whole Nubian region, as well as the quality of the original coloring. This is partly due to the treatments and protections made by the first Christians who adopted the site as their place of worship during the beginning of Christianity in Egypt.
The temple of Amada has two significant historical inscriptions. The oldest, which dates to Amenophis II's third year of rule, "is found on a stele rounded at the top and located on the back wall of the sanctuary (east)."Six The text details the pharaoh's brutal military campaign in Asia:
