The High Dam:

The unfinished obelisk of Aswan is known to be one of the largest among them. It was constructed by Hatshepsut, the queen of Thutmose II, who also ruled Egypt as a Pharaoh from 1478 to 1458 B.C., jointly with Thutmose III,

Philae Temple: 

Philae Island was a rocky island in the middle of the Nile, south of Aswan . It was called "Apo" which means Ivory. It was also known by the Greek "Elephantine", probably because it was an important center of trade, especially for ivory. After building the High Dam the temple of the Goddess Isis was moved to a new island was called Egilica , and it was completely reshaped to imitate Philae Island as closely as possible.
