A sphinx in the outer court of the
temple of Ramesses II at el-Sebua. When, in
the 1960's, the High Dam was being constructed,
this temple that was built by
Ramesses II, and is now usually referred to
as the Temple of Wadi al-Sabua (Wadi el-Sebua)
but originally known as the "House-of-Amun", was
salvaged (in 1964) and moved to a new, elevated
site several kilometers to the northwest. |
