Discover this museum for yourself with us.
Next, we move to the Kalabsha Temple.The Kalabsha Temple was moved here on May 13, 1964, because of the High Dam's construction. The temple was situated in Kalabsha, a tiny town of the same name... It was crucial to relocate the temple higher up the mountain since the High Dam's construction threatened to bury the community and temple beneath the Nile's waters. The temple was moved by the West German government as part of UNESCO's effort to preserve Nubia's antiquities. Nobody thought the move would be that stunning. Find out more about the history of the temple and how our assistance helped to rescue it.
