Temples Kalapshp and Governor's house, and booth Kertasy

As a result of the tremendous efforts of UNESCO to save the Nubian monuments that were threatened with submersion, after building the High Dam, the transfer of these temples ( "Kalapshp" and "Governor's house," and "Kertasy") from their position of origin, which sank to the current position on the western coast of Lake Nasser. Was funded by the Government of West Germany at that time the transfer and the rebuilding of the Temple 13000 block "Kalapshp." It was courtesy of the Western edifice of the temple "Kalapshp" to the Government of West Germany in recognition of their efforts to save the temple, and this edifice is now before the Western Museum in Berlin.
Built a temple, "Kalapshp" Kalabsha in the era of Emperor "Aozhustos" Emperor Augustus in the period between 30 BC and 14 AD, and mainly devoted to the god of Nubian "Mandolees" Mandulis. But was held in the same temple worship of the goddess "Isis" and her husband, the god "Osiris"; also used the temple as a church in the Christian era. During the rescue operations and transport, which carried out by Germany, were discovered evidence of the existence of the oldest parts of the temple dating back to my era, "Omnovis (Amenhotep) II" (no tomb by the "Valley of the Kings") and "Ptolemy IX".

And wall reliefs depicting emperors and kings of different jumping fun with the gods! After the room there are 3 rooms and peace ascend from one of these rooms to the surface. There is an internal passage between the temple and the wall that surrounds it, and the corridor leading to a measure of the Niloma Temple "Governor's house," have been transferred and re-installed the north - west of the Temple "Kalapshp" with the help of the United States Government.
