Summary

Description
English: Island of Philae - The international campaign for saving of the Nubian monuments was launched by Unesco in 1960. Famed for its monuments, the island of Philae in the River Nile has been submerged nine months out of twelve since the first Aswan dam. The construction of the High Dam above the island has worsened the situation; not only are the monuments permanently flooded to a third of their height, but they are subject to daily fluctuations in the water level which eat away their foundations and threaten to bring them down to ruins. In May 1968, the Campaign's Executive Committee endorsed the decision taken by the U.A.R to dismantle and re - erect the monuments on the neighbouring island of Agilkia which is sufficiently elevated to be above the maximum level of the water. In the background, the temple of Isis and the Pavillon of Trajan ( from left to right ).
