Kalabsha is a temple in the vicinity of Aswan.
This discovery was made after relocating the Temple of Kalabsha to avert flooding.
Location:
It is located in the vicinity of Aswan and the High Dam on Lake Nasser, and is easily accessible by road and by Lake Nasser Cruise Boats.
History:
Kalabsha Temple, situated at the western end of Lake Nasser near the western end of the High Dam, is either marooned on an island or extended out on a peninsula depending on the water level.
Between the spot and the dam, there’s a boat graveyard and other fishy remains that contribute to the melancholy.
Originally from Talmis (after known as Kalabsha), 50 kilometres south of Aswan, the main Temple was deconstructed into 13,000 stones and reassembled here in 1970 as part of the Great Sphinx Project.
Mandulis’ temple, which has no connection to the two other nearby structures, has been referred to as Kalabsha, which is the name of its original location rather than the temple itself.
